I move amendment No. 32:

In page 29, line 10, after "may" where it firstly occurs to insert ", after consultation with the professional bodies,".

Sinn Féin is concerned that the staff currently employed by the Law Society of Ireland and the Bar Council of Ireland to handle and investigate complaints may lose their jobs and be replaced by staff in the new authority essentially carrying out the same role. Trade unions have called on these staff to be employed by the new authority.
