Despite the earlier wishes of the committee in terms of amendments, it is important that we accommodate the presidents of all the courts in the matter of the commission. It was felt that the most appropriate way of doing this was to establish certain committees. Notwithstanding the amendments to earlier sections, particularly section 9, it is fundamental that the offices of the presidents of the Circuit Court and the District Court be fully acknowledged and accommodated in the legislation. In such circumstances, I am of the view that we will be obliged to revisit this issue at a later Stage.
