I think differently about the phraseology, although I bow to the Senator's expertise in matters of grammar. If we were talking about people who were simply nominated as candidates the Bill might have spelt that out a little more clearly, but in my view it could not be interpreted as anything other than a person who is a Member of Seanad Éireann so nominated by the Taoiseach. That is expressed in the disjunction from paragraph (b) which refers to a person elected to either House. That is simply there to indicate that the legal services ombudsman ceases to hold office if appointed, or nominated, to the Seanad. There are many words to describe what we are talking about. It is fairly clear in my view.
