I seek some clarification on section 94. The section repeals sections 13(3) and 13(4) of the Dublin Institute of Technology Act 1992 and section 69(b) of the Education and Training Boards Act 2013. One of the concerns is that the original head 59(7) would represent a stronger position in respect of this provision. I have spoken to the trade unions on this point. They maintain that, as it stands, section 94 takes away the protection of the 1930 and 1944 Acts for pre-2006 staff in respect of ministerial inquiries.
