We could amend the text to specifically refer to this committee. The current wording makes it a specific legal requirement for the CEO, if asked, to appear before any Oireachtas committee, including this one. The person concerned cannot baulk at attending. The law mandates that he or she must turn up and attend such meetings. Therefore, the legal provision is there. We could specify one committee, namely this one, which is obviously the most relevant. We could keep the other committees unnamed in the proposed legislation.
