I have a final question for the commission. Our group and I am sure many others made submissions in regard to the consultation on Ireland’s statutory framework for ethics in public life. One of the key areas identified was putting certain principles on a statutory basis, including public interest. Does SIPO have comments on how this Bill fits into that wider statutory framework on ethics in public life?
