Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality

Selection Panel for Irish Human Rights and Equality Commission: Discussion

4:55 pm

Ms Emily O'Reilly:

My view is that it should be as broad as possible. People should see themselves potentially in there rather than seeing a list of names, professions or areas of interest in which they may not be especially involved. We have no wish for people to exclude themselves but if the criteria are too restrictive that might happen.
