Houses of the Oireachtas Commission Bill 2002: Second Stage.
The Clerk of this House should be both a member and deputy chief executive of the commission. It is not a matter of sleight but of balance and fairness that the Clerk should play an important role. This is a separate House linked with the Dáil. On numerical strength alone, it would be appropriate that the Clerk should be deputy chief executive of the commission.
