‹ Ceisteanna—Questions Oral Answers - Dáil Reform. Privilege for committee witnesses
Summary
De Rossa asked whether qualified privilege for committee witnesses was being considered; Barrett said legislation was being prepared by the parliamentary draftsman.
A final supplementary from Deputy De Rossa and a final one on the question from Deputy Brady.
Comment on this
The final question I want to ask is in relation to the review of the committee structure, whether it is intended to provide, as has been reported, some qualified privilege to persons appearing before these committees and, if that is being considered, whether or not any legislation has been prepared.
