I have read section 3. I am not a legal expert but I struggled to find that basis. The difficulty we have is that the President of the High Court is a member of the Judiciary and, as a Member of the Dáil, I am precluded from second-guessing the decisions of the President of the High Court. Would Mr. McGrath accept that is a significant governance gap where no public body can question or quiz the decisions made by somebody who is administering a public fund?
