Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government

General Scheme of the Water Services Separation Bill 2021: Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage

Mr. Feargal Ó Coigligh:

In terms of standard of drafting, it is usually he-she as chair. It is something we will check with the Parliamentary Counsel. Beyond that, we are not the experts in drafting legislation. We prepare the general schemes. We would need, therefore, to take advice from the Office of the Parliamentary Counsel. On the issue of the use of "chair" versus "chairman", I am sure that can be dealt with.
