Jan O'Sullivan (Limerick East, Labour)

It should still be possible to state this in the legislation. If it is not stated in legislation, it is difficult for a person to argue that they should not have been dismissed under the rules of natural, constitutional or administrative law. It usually does not reach that point. Nobody wishes to involve the courts if they are dismissed from an agency, consultative group or a committee. Perhaps the Minister will re-examine this before the Seanad debate and see if it can be incorporated into the legislation.
