Joint Oireachtas Committee on Foreign Affairs and Trade, and Defence

General Scheme of the Defence (Amendment) Bill 2023: Discussion (Resumed)

Professor Brian MacCraith:

No. We currently use meeting rooms in Trinity Point where the Department of Defence has offices and meeting rooms. The Bill refers to the body's ability to have a designated space and location, and a location for the staff that goes with this. That is also important for the ongoing independence of the body. It is a significant message in terms of where one is located, where the staffing comes from and so on. That is something we will seek to preserve very carefully.
