Again, I indicate that I reserve the right to table an amendment on Report Stage. I wish to highlight a concern for the Minister's attention. A number of NGOs are concerned that the number of staff seconded from the Department of Justice and Equality would not exceed 25%. As there are issues around staffing to ensure the independence of the new body, I will table amendments on Report Stage.
