I raise the same point again. I was looking at the list of six bodies. The draft code of ethics does not state that is to be a public consultation. I will speak in layman's terms, but the general public may not know that this is a public consultation and they may have an input into how the code of ethics is designed and rolled out. That is my concern. While it states "persons", it does not state "the general public", how the general public feeds into this and how they would be made aware of this. It states that a person may contact the Minister, the policing authority, the Garda Síochána Ombudsman, the Garda Síochána Inspectorate, the Data Protection Commission, and IHREC, but how will the general public be involved in this consultation?
