Mother and Baby Institutions Payment Scheme Bill 2022: Report and Final Stages
Dail Éireann — 2023-02-01
============================================================

Kathleen Funchion (SF), Carlow-Kilkenny

I move amendment No. 9:
In page 9, to delete lines 19 to 21 and substitute the following:
“(5) The Chief Operating Officer may appoint suitably qualified staff as he or she may determine to the staff of the Office of the Chief Deciding Officer to assist in the performance of his or her duties.”.
The office of the chief deciding officer must be independent and, as such, the recruitment of staff to the office must be independent and that is the aim of the amendment.
