The ULA Steering Committee has decided not to proceed with a postal ballot for the nonaligned positions, and has now selected to the Sub-Committee all the four nonaligned members who were nominated. Selected on 28th February were Ken Doyle, Swords, Stephen Lendaro, Dublin South, Alan Gibson, Cork and Conor McGuinness, Galway.

It was also agreed that the three component groups would have an entitlement to have up to three representatives on the body.

The Steering Committee has proposed that the first meeting of the Sub-Committee take place in Dublin on Saturday 10 March.
