European Stability Mechanism Bill 2012: Committee and Remaining Stages
2:00 pm
John Gilroy (Labour)
I share the concerns of Senator David Norris regarding the immunity of persons mentioned in section 5, as it could involve a grave issue. However, I have read the section and noted the words "in their official capacity". As Senator Thomas Byrne noted, it makes perfect that people acting in their official capacity under the section enjoy immunity. Those acting outside their official capacity will not enjoy such immunity; therefore, there is not much to concern us.
