We are not aware of any commercial bodies that are included. Essentially, the purpose of the definition is to exclude all non-commercial bodies. The Senator is quite right in what he says about judges and court officers. It is open to the Oireachtas to amend the courts of justice legislation for new entrants to the Judiciary. However, I made the point more generally to stress that it has always been the legislative practice to deal with the Judiciary under the courts of justice legislation rather than as a subset of some other legislation. This would appear to be appropriate legislative practice given the constitutional mandate to provide by legislation for the Judiciary.
