I support my colleagues on the residency-in-the-State clause. If we wound back the clock two decades or so, the lady from County Down who was eligible and elected to become President of Ireland would not have been eligible to be a member of this authority. We have debated this in the context of such clauses in other Bills. It is worthy of examination. The concept of some outside eyes looking at things and helping should not be dismissed. Perhaps the Minister will reflect on that exemption on Report Stage.
