Research and Innovation Bill 2024: Committee Stage (Resumed)
Seanad Éireann — 2024-05-08
============================================================

Niall Collins (FF), Limerick County

The section has been drafted as a standard provision and primarily relates to situations that may arise involving ongoing legal cases where the integrity of the case is paramount and to ensure respect for the separation of powers, as provided for under the Constitution. This does not interfere with any functions or powers of any aspect of the Oireachtas as the provision is already completely limited and discrete. We, therefore, do not propose to accept the amendment.
