I have tabled amendment No. 7 which deals with the appeals mechanism but particularly deferred members because there is a fear that any restructuring arrangement will impact disproportionately on them. It also seeks to have such an appeals mechanism established by regulations that would outline the manner by which representatives of deferred members would be selected and recognised for the purposes of appeals. It is sensible to make that request and include it in the Bill by way of an amendment, especially if the Minister agrees that there has to be an appeals mechanism. I ask him to consider it.
