I move amendment No. 177:

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

“Arrangements for suspension or dismissal of staff following order under Part 287. (1) Where an order has been made under section 33 or 40, 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, as the case may be—

(a) section 12A of the Dublin Institute of Technology Act 1992, or

(b) 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.

(2) For the purposes of subsection (1), if procedures or conditions referred to in paragraph (a) or (b) of that subsection 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 33 or 40 refers, and a process for the suspension or dismissal of a member of staff of the dissolved body involving such delegated powers is commenced but not completed immediately before the appointed day, the process shall notwithstanding section 6, 52 or 53, on or after that day, be continued by the president or Director of the dissolved body who may suspend or dismiss a member of staff.”.
