I have the reconstitution of this body under active consideration and I would hope to announce the membership in the near future.
What are the reasons for the delay creating much disruption of the work of Comhairle na nOspidéal?
I am just anxious to get the best possible Comhairle I can. I admit it is taking a little longer than I had hoped but I can assure the Deputy that the members will be appointed very soon now.
Would the Minister confirm a report in this morning's newspapers that he had indicated to the chairman of An Comhairle that he will not be invited to take up a place in the new Comhairle?
That is a separate question.
The report is true then.
