Willie O'Dea (Limerick East, Fianna Fail)

As I stated when speaking about the previous group of amendments, further to the observations of the Irish Human Rights Commission on section 40, I am satisfied we can dispense entirely with all references in the Bill to "senior member" of a court martial. Amendments Nos. 7 to 9, inclusive, give effect to this in respect of section 40 which deals with the constitution of limited courts martial. Amendment No. 11, which deals with the dissolution of courts martial, was required as a consequence of amendments Nos. 7 to 9, inclusive.
