Electoral Reform Bill 2022: Committee Stage
Seanad Éireann — 2022-06-30
============================================================

Lynn Ruane (IND), University of Dublin

I move amendment No. 24:
In page 30, line 18, after "Office" to insert ", the Irish Human Rights and Equality Commission".
The amendment seeks to provide that the Irish Human Rights and Equality Commission, IHREC, be included alongside the Central Statistics Office and Ordnance Survey Ireland as an organisation that may assist the commission in the performance of its functions. The IHREC has a unique role as a State body and is uniquely equipped to support the commission in areas of equality and human rights. The electoral commission will oversee the electoral process and it is important that the processes we have now and may have in future are rooted in human rights and equality.
