Joint Oireachtas Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation

General Scheme of the Companies (Corporate Enforcement Authority) Bill 2018: Discussion

Ms Sabha Greene:

Yes. The idea is to give flexibility. One of the criticisms in Judge Aylmer's judgment was that the ODCE was not equipped to take on board a number of big cases at the same time. If that arose for it again, it would be able to have an additional one or two commissioners to work with the chairperson.

We could have one commissioner over one particular investigation separate from the rest of the work of the body.
