I welcome the Minister of State's comments on the role of former politicians. I am curious and a little worried about the composition of the oversight committee provided for in section 18(2)(a) and section 18(2)(b), comprising a chairperson and two ordinary members. I hope that the ordinary committee could be extended to include people who have served as former councillors or public representatives, in addition to those who served as former director of services or managers in Cork.
