Jan O'Sullivan (Limerick East, Labour)

I move amendment No. 14:

In page 14, between lines 24 and 25, to insert the following:

"(3) The Commission or a Committee may invite a person who has given evidence or made a submission or statement to or before it before the passing of this Act to supplement that evidence, submission or statement having regard to changes made to the functions or procedure of the Commission or a Committee by this Act.".

This amendment would allow a person to be brought back before the commission or a committee of the commission. A person may have already given evidence and the commission may now decide to deal with all the people in a particular institution as a group. It may be relevant for such a person who was in that institution and has already given evidence to return to give evidence. I believe the amendment is self-explanatory.
