Seanad
‹ Order of Business Role of public-interest directors
Summary
Colm Burke defends public-interest directors as serving a useful legal and public function, despite disagreement over their decisions.
I join my colleagues in wishing everyone a happy Christmas but we should also thank the people who work behind the scenes in the Bills Office, making sure that the documentation we receive is in order. I thank them for all their work in the past 12 months.
I do not agree with Senator Coghlan about the public interest directors. I served on a State board for ten years as a nominee of Cork City Council but my duty while serving on that board was to the board not to Cork City Council.

We are all equally bound by the law.
