Victor Boyhan (Independent) | Oireachtas source

I have one particular question. Before asking it, I want to thank Dr. Suiter and Dr. Reidy for their engagement with us today. We will not have an opportunity to engage with them directly outside of this meeting so I might forward some supplementary questions to them. If they could facilitate me, I would appreciate it.

I would welcome a comment from the witnesses on former political party members being members of the commission. It is suggested and provided for in the heads of the Bill that members of the commission cannot be sitting Oireachtas Members but when Members retire their political affiliations do not cease and their associations certainly do not. I would like a comment from the witnesses on that.
