I move amendment No. 27:

In page 61, between lines 14 and 15, to insert the following:

“Arrangements for suspension or dismissal of staff following order under Part 387. (1) Notwithstanding section 6(3), where an order has been made under section 46, and a process that may result in the suspension or dismissal of a member of staff of the dissolved body has, before the appointed day, been commenced but not completed immediately before that day in accordance with procedures made or conditions determined under section 12A of the Dublin Institute of Technology Act 1992, the process shall, on or after that day, be continued by the dissolved body under those procedures or conditions, and the dissolved body may suspend or dismiss a member of staff, as if the order had not been made.

(2) Notwithstanding section 6(2) or 6(4), where an order has been made under section 46 or 53, and a process that may result in the suspension or dismissal of a member of staff of a dissolved body has, before the appointed day, been commenced but not completed immediately before that day in accordance with procedures made or conditions determined under section 11A of the Act of 1992, the process shall, on or after that day, be continued by the dissolved body under those procedures or conditions, and the dissolved body may suspend or dismiss a member of staff, as if the order had not been made.

(3) For the purposes of subsections (1) and (2), if procedures or conditions referred to in those subsections provide for the delegation of powers relating to dismissal or suspension to the President or Director of a dissolved body to which an order under section 46 or 53 refers, and a process for the suspension or dismissal of a member of staff of the dissolved body involves such delegated powers and is commenced but not completed immediately before the appointed day, the process shall notwithstanding section 82 or 83, on or after that day, be continued by that President or Director who may suspend or dismiss a member of staff.”.
