Mr. David Moloney:

Yes. That would be my understanding. In respect of the Ministers and Secretaries Act, we would bring forward that legislation. In respect of any of the functions exercised on it, we would bring forward legislation on behalf of the Taoiseach. I would just make that distinction.

Regarding the independent review panel, it is probably not that obvious but when we talk about the legislative arrangements in respect of the Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform setting the terms and conditions of civil servants, the terms and conditions are encompassed broadly. Therefore, it would be relevant to the Ministers and Secretaries Act. That would be one of the items the independent review panel would be free to look at.
