I move amendment No. 39:
In page 14, to delete lines 4 to 10.
We are proposing to remove the provision where members appointed by the PAS or nominated by the Bar Council or Law Society do not have to go through that process again to be reappointed after three years but can simply be reappointed by the Minister. It is self-evident. Why have a three-year term if we are going to then ignore it? It smacks of something like Horse Racing Ireland.
