Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality
Charity Appeals Tribunal: Chairperson Designate
9:00 am
Mr. Patrick O'Connor:
To predict the caseload at the stage when one is setting up a body is a bit like asking someone to predict what the Irish weather is going to be in six weeks’ time. We really do not know. I do not think there will be a significant caseload initially but we will learn as it goes along.
I do not believe the tribunal will have involvement in Part 4 investigations. That is a matter for the authority, an inspector who might be appointed under any inquiry and the High Court.
