Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine

General Scheme of the Greyhound Industry Bill 2017: Discussion

4:00 pm

Mr. Brendan Gleeson:

Perhaps that is a potential halfway-house solution, subject to the committee's discussions with other people.

Instead of providing explicitly for three years in the Act, we could provide a power to regulate what the term of office should be. Then, it would be reasonably simple to produce a statutory instrument that might adjust the period, depending on the experience. One has to provide somewhere for some term of office although I do not know whether three years is the right term.
