I move:



That Seanad Éireann, noting that, in order to fill a vacancy caused by the resignation of Mr. Simon O’Brien as the chairperson of the Garda Síochána Ombudsman Commission, the Government on 30 June 2015 nominated Judge Mary Ellen Ring for appointment by the President to be a member of the Ombudsman Commission and to be its chairperson, recommends, pursuant to section 65(1)(b) of the Garda Síochána Act 2005, that she be appointed by the President to be a member and to be chairperson of the Ombudsman Commission.

Question put and agreed to.
