David Cullinane (Sinn Fein) | Oireachtas source

I had strayed from discussing the public water forum because we were asked to confine ourselves to the specifics of the amendments in previous contributions, which we have done. However, we had strayed somewhat into the powers and functions of the forum and the appointments process. The Minister went some way towards providing us with clarification of some aspects of it, which is to be welcomed. I support the fact that the appropriate Oireachtas committee will deal with the guidelines which will be presented to it. However, there is still a question around what exactly the forum will do.
