Yesterday, Senator Mansergh repeatedly drew attention to the English language Short Title of the Bill and suggested we were contradicting it by having no statutory presence from among the Seanad officers on the commission secretariat. We do not accept this. The detail of the Bill makes clear what the focus of the commission will be, namely, the allocation of funding for and provision of services and staff to Members of the Houses. The allocation of funds and staff between the Houses, committees and other services will be a large part of the commission's remit and policy decisions on these matters, within which the chief executive will have to operate, will be taken at commission level, not the administrative level, which will act on his behalf.
