Will the rules surrounding appeals be changed?

The Minister mentioned bodies receiving significant funding from the Exchequer. Perhaps he can flesh out how he proposes to define significant and whether this amounts to a proportion of funding or changes depending on circumstances. My final question is on the definition of the term administrative in respect of the Garda Síochána. I chaired the joint policing committee of my council and I am sure the Garda Síochána views deployment issues and speed checks as administrative but I welcome information on the definition of administrative, how it is being discussed with the Garda Síochána and how it is progressing.
