British-Irish Agreement (Amendment) Bill, 2002: Second Stage.

 

Can the Minister of State tell me what is the relationship between the Implementation Bodies and the relevant Oireachtas or Westminster committees? Can they be asked or summoned? Can An Foras Teanga, for instance, be required to speak to the relevant joint committee here on matters that concern the Gaeltacht, language or education? Can the same body be required to come before a committee of the Westminster Parliament? I understand that it does not have joint committees so there would be two committees – a committee of the House of Lords and a committee of the House of Commons.
