asked the Minister for the Environment if he will consider the claim by the Association of Health Boards in Ireland for the right to nominate a candidate for Seanad elections; and if he will agree to introduce amending legislation to have the association recognised as a nominating body with status similar to that of the General Council of County Councils and the Association of Municipal Authorities.
