Michael Healy-Rae (Kerry South, Independent) | Oireachtas source

This is a very sound petition. I am disappointed that the initial recommendation is to deem the petition inadmissible because no previous action had been taken. I propose that we refer it to the Joint Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality to examine the matter in the context of the Legal Services Regulation Bill. My belief is that the Bill that is going through the Oireachtas will not cover the type of petition before us. It would have been preferable for us to have dealt with the matter further. In the event that is not possible, I propose that the matter would go for consideration to the Joint Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality.
