Phil Hogan (Carlow-Kilkenny, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

There are established practices for the chairpersons of any statutory body to appear upon request to the Oireachtas committee and, accordingly, there is no specific requirement for including this as an amendment to the Bill. It is also absolutely implicit that the chairperson would attend on receipt of a request from the committee. Therefore, there should no reason a chairperson should refuse to do so. In addition to that, when I get quarterly reports from the chairperson of the Pyrite Resolution Board I will make them available to the Houses of the Oireachtas.
