Jimmy Harte (Labour)

I again thank the Minister. This is an important Bill that will give legal effect to the polling system. I have a couple of questions. I do not know how the polling criteria for the 66 members were decided upon; they might simply have come from the polling companies themselves. However, I fear that certain counties - perhaps counties such as Leitrim and Donegal - might have no representatives among the convention's membership, which would send out the wrong message.
