Seanad Committee on the Withdrawal of the United Kingdom from the European Union

Dispute Resolution Mechanism: Discussion

Ms Maeve Collins:

We do not have an awful lot to add beyond the opening statement. The European Parliament will appoint members. We are still waiting for the UK to take a position and begin nominating its own members. Regrettably, it is yet to happen. We are not sure yet. Obviously, we would like to see some Irish representation on that body but ultimately it is for the European Parliament to decide which of the 25 members will be on it. I understand that is being worked on at the moment. My colleagues may have something to add.
