Joint Oireachtas Committee on Foreign Affairs and Trade, and Defence
General Scheme of the Defence (Amendment) Bill 2023: Discussion (Resumed)
Ms Josephine Feehily:
I have no idea but every State body lists such a provision. I am chair of a technological university and there is a specification setting out who can and cannot be on the governing body, and the bankruptcy one is there front and centre. This provision is everywhere. Whether anyone has ever availed of it to escape from a State board, I do not know.
