Committees of the Houses of the Oireachtas (Compellability, Privileges and Immunities of Witnesses) (Amendment) Bill 2004: Committee and Remaining Stages.
4:00 am
Jim Walsh (Fianna Fail)
What will the committee do in a scenario where conflicting evidence is given? Does it report both sets of evidence to the House so the Houses can adjudicate on the confliction? For example, it could be claimed things happened accidentally or whatever. How is that resolved? Who makes the decision, particularly if it involves significant IT complications that the average person might not be able to resolve in his or her mind? How will that be dealt with in this process?
