Mr. Liam Herrick:

-----and we are governed by a wide range of regulatory bodies, but all the decisions of the Irish Human Rights and Equality Commission are made by the commissioners who are appointed by the President on the advice of the Government. I do not believe there is a reference to the Free Legal Advice Centres in our submission. There is a reference to an advisory group called the future of equality legislation. That was a group which we assembled made of the leading academic experts and authorities in equality in Ireland and, indeed, internationally and a number of other key organisations. However, it was advising the commission, which made its own independent decisions.
