Immigration Bill, 2002: Committee Stage (Resumed).
The provisions regarding a temporary stand-in are, in the case of the Refugee Applications Commissioner, in amendment No. 22 at the proposed paragraph 10 of the first schedule to the Refugee Act. The similar provisions for the chair of the Refugee Appeals Tribunal are in amendment No. 23, at the proposed paragraph 8, subparagraph (2). Provisions of this nature are to be found in much legislation governing the creation of public offices and the holding of those offices. Some that spring to mind are those of the Director of Public Prosecutions under the Prosecution of Offences Act 1974 and the members of the Ethics in Public Office Commission under the 1995 Act which established that commission.
