Paschal Donohoe (Fine Gael)

I was not suggesting the Minister choose a man or woman off the street. I am sure he knows that is not the point I was making. I was merely making the observation, which is a valid and pertinent one given the industry in question, that there is a need to ensure consumer interests are advocated on the board of the authority. The amendment before us could be regressive in stipulating representatives of the industry. Any work the Minister could do in terms of the appointment of individuals and organisations which represent the interests of those who use property services would result in a more effective authority.
