Special Committee on Covid-19 Response

Covid-19: Legislative Framework Underpinning the State's Response

Ms Maura McNally:

I will respond here briefly. Even though the Bar Council of Ireland does not have any submission in respect of this matter from its perspective, there should be transparency and clarity in respect of all legislation, both primary and secondary. As to whether there has been a lacuna or a falling down in that respect, that is a matter for other bodies to address. However, there should be transparency and clarity.
