I have proposed that section 14 be deleted. The Department of Public Expenditure and Reform has requested that section 14 be deleted from the Bill because it duplicates provisions contained in the Ethics in Public Office Act 1995. The authority and tribunal will fall within the scope of the 1994 Act, the first Schedule of which, in section 1(12), provides that a body, organisation or group appointed by the Government or a Minister constitutes a public body for the purposes of the Act. Apparently this section is not necessary.
