Ms Emily O'Reilly:

What we will do now is meet to consider the process. I believe there will be quite an amount of work in designing the process and getting it right. There will be a parallel process between moving to select the commissioners and involving in public engagement around that. We will not be looking for specific names, but we want an idea from the public of the sort of well-functioning, effective commission that should be put in place. After that, as Professor Whyte has indicated, one commission will be appointed. It will be appointed initially to the Equality Authority and then there will be a process of convergence. I imagine this committee will be involved in that also. It is all a bit of a work in progress currently.
