Reappointment of tribunal members

Summary

Birmingham asked whether the tribunal’s members would be reappointed when their terms expired and whether press rumours about its future were unfounded. The Ceann Comhairle said the question went beyond the original scope, and the Minister disclaimed responsibility for press rumours.

I understand the position to be that the period in office of the existing members will expire in the near future. Could I take it that the tribunal will be reappointed and will continue to operate as heretofore and that the rumours that were floated some time ago in the press and were subsequently withdrawn from the press were found to be groundless?
