Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform

General Scheme of a Public Sector Standards Bill: Discussion (Resumed)

2:00 pm

Mr. Peter Tyndall:

I was not proposing that. What is being proposed is that the legislation be combined. I take some of the points, including the possibility of an online register similar to the lobbying register where all public officials would declare their interests. I am in favour of those developments. My particular point was that the best international practice in countries such as Canada is as often driven by a commissioner model as by a commission model. There are good examples of both, and we need to decide which best fits us.
