Michael McDowell (Dublin South East, Progressive Democrats)

The Irish Human Rights Commission has publicly acknowledged this. The Law Reform Commission was mentioned in this morning's debate. At the recent launch of the Land and Conveyancing Law Reform Bill, the president of the commission was asked by a member of the press whether she felt frustrated that the commission's reports were not acted upon. She said the Law Reform Commission had a higher success rate in getting its proposals into law than many of its counterparts in other jurisdictions.
