Liam Twomey (Fine Gael)

I move amendment No. 5:

In page 24, subsection (1), line 26, after "Minister" to insert ", with the approval of Dáil Éireann,".

The amendment proposes to improve accountability to the Oireachtas in respect of the legislation by providing that the Minister secure the approval of the Dáil or relevant Oireachtas committee before removing a member from the board. This will allow people to become aware of the reasons for the removal and improve accountability to the Oireachtas.
