I move amendment No. 3:

In page 19, subsection (3)(b), line 4, after "persons" to insert "proposed to be".

Under the Bill as it stands, the joint Oireachtas committee can only suggest three names. All the other board members are notified to the committee after they are appointed. This seems to be something of a fait acommpli. We suggest that all the members are notified to the committee in advance. The committee can then nominate three members and comment on the remainder.
