Joint Oireachtas Committee on Foreign Affairs and Trade, and Defence
General Scheme of the Defence (Amendment) Bill 2023: Discussion
Michael McDowell (Independent) | Oireachtas source
I mentioned the Secretary General of the Department of Defence being ex officio a member of a body that is supposed to be an independent adviser to its own Minister. I think back to a time when I was Minister for Justice. It never occurred to me to appoint the Secretary General of the Department of Justice to be part of the Garda management or its oversight body. Is that consistent-----
