I was a member when it was called the CPP. I think the name was changed to Committee on Procedure in the last Dáil.

There have been different interpretations of the Supreme Court judgment. It would be useful to revisit the judgment itself. It required a new set of rules to be put in place but it is the balance of those rules that is the issue. If we are going to have a conversation with the OPLA, we need to know what we want. We also need to know why that Standing Order was proposed in the way that it was. What is it addressing in the context of that balance? If we go through that forensically, we may well find that there are opportunities to strike a better balance within it.
