Joint Oireachtas Committee on Foreign Affairs and Trade, and Defence
General Scheme of the Defence (Amendment) Bill 2023: Discussion (Resumed)
Professor Brian MacCraith:
It is the view of this body that the membership of the external oversight body is a matter for the Government, including the Minister for Defence. So far, the membership reflects the recommendations in the IRG, including with respect to the inclusion of the Secretary General of the Department of Defence. Our view is that this body will operate under whatever directions the Government gives on its composition.
