Air Navigation and Transport Bill 2020: Committee Stage
Seanad Éireann — 2021-10-05
============================================================

Gerard P. Craughwell (IND), Labour Panel

I support what the Senator has said. It is a different thing entirely to take an Oireachtas Member and exclude him or her from board membership. That is probably right because legislation, etc., comes through both Houses. Local authority members, however, bring a wealth of experience and local knowledge to a board. That is something the Minister of State should look at over time.
