Qualifications and Quality Assurance (Education and Training) Bill 2011: Committee Stage
2:00 pm
Ciarán Cannon (Galway East, Fine Gael)
In the past year the Government has gone a long way towards improving the procedures governing how people are appointed to the boards of public bodies. However, the appointment to bodies such as the appeals panel is normally exercised by Ministers. On that basis, I do not support the proposition that we involve the Seanad in the selection of the panel's chairperson.
