David Norris (Independent) | Oireachtas source

The Minister makes a fair point that there are judges on this. One would assume that they would raise these issues but I am not convinced by his argument about independence. I do not see that laying down the framework for the commission and the principles by which it operates limits its independence. One sets out these things first of all and after that is done, of course it is independent, and nobody will interfere with it.
