I thank the witnesses for appearing before the committee and commend them for intervening in the N.H.V. case. It was an important thing to do. I believe the Irish Human Rights and Equality Commission should stick its nose into big cases like that in the future.
This directive is to be transposed into Irish law by way of secondary legislation.
I know that is common for most directives. Would Ms Logan have any concerns about that? All that will happen is that the Minister will lay the statutory instrument before the Dáil. Members have the power to pass a motion seeking to set it aside but that has never happened previously. We do not have any real involvement in it by way of legislation. Does Ms Logan have any concerns?
