Will the Minister look at some of the procedures? Following the Supreme Court judgment of Mr. Justice O'Donnell in the Lambe and O'Connell case, section 45 seems to be working quite well. It was assumed a disciplinary structure was in place and there was no need for this. The Minister said he would bring back impartial procedures for appeals against sanctions imposed under subsection (3) so I will withdraw my opposition until I see what comes of it.
