Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality

Selection Panel for Irish Human Rights and Equality Commission: Discussion

4:55 pm

Professor Gerard Whyte:

These are the sorts of issues we have yet to address because we are only now assuming the role and, having regard to the sentiment expressed already, it sounds as if the committee will approve us. It is only now that we will start this work. We held a discussion before the meeting today and we are beginning to address the issue of how to get the process out to the public in order that we can get the best calibre of people in the mix. I have no concluded views on this yet.
