In regard to the Minister's remarks about An Bord Glas I am afraid that we have the wrong Minister on this one. Is the Minister not aware of the very strong concern that has been expressed about the hasty manner in which the interim board of that body were put together and the manner in which the proposed staff are being treated? They do not know what is happening. Is the Minister not aware of the very strong concern being expressed about what appears to be so far a totally cosmetic measure put together with no consideration or preparation?

Nail your colours to the mast, boy.

I think that is a wide extension of this question.

Is it not reasonable to ask if the Minister is aware of that concern? I ask him to comment on it and on whether the board are working well. What about some members of the board and the three men from the one company?

I am quite satisfied that the membership and make-up of this board consist of some of the most reputable people in the industry.

Card carrying, the whole lot of them.

I do not know of any single one of the board members who has not made a fine contribution to the horticulture industry and together they can help to sort out the mess in which the horticulture industry has found itself.
