I will be opposing the amendment, which was previously considered by me in the context of the Bar Council's March 2012 report. I consider the provisions of the Bill as amended in relation to the disciplinary tribunal and its relationship with the High Court to be more than adequate for the purposes of the Bill and its objectives. I will, in any event, be returning to this Part for further amendment on Report Stage. There are some further amendments, I think, that will add additional flesh to the provisions that we are dealing with today.
