Maurice Cummins (Fine Gael)

I move amendment No. 110:

In page 56, subsection (3), between lines 19 and 20, to insert the following:

"(b) shall be granted legal representation and related costs,".

People who are brought before the ombudsman commission should be entitled to costs and legal representation. I hope the Minister of State will take on board the amendment because there is no reason the costs incurred by anybody coming before the commission should not be paid.
