Ruairi Quinn (Dublin South East, Labour)

I thank the Senators for their clarification on these points. I have listened to what they said and all I can say in response to the proposal is that I will review the measure in two years' time. We will respond to it and, if necessary, I will come back to this House and report on the issue.

It is my intention to set up the board in September. I will call for public expressions of interest for participation on the board. We hope to have the board up and running by the end of September.
