Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine

General Scheme of the Greyhound Industry Bill 2017: Discussion

4:00 pm

Mr. Brendan Gleeson:

Yes, that is possible. We will have to think about that. However, the relevant person has to have some term of office. Perhaps the sensible or prudent approach would be to provide for that by regulation rather than having it in the primary legislation.

The existing provision for the chairman of the appeals committee is five years.
