RULING OF THE TRIBUNAL ON APPLICATIONS FOR REPRESENTATION MADE ON BEHALF OF REPRESENTATIVE BODIES
The Tribunal sat on the 22nd day of July 2024 to hear applications for representation made on behalf of representative bodies. As stated by Hamilton C.J. in Haughey v. Moriarty ([1999] 3 IR 1, p.74), there are several stages to the work of a Tribunal of Inquiry. This Tribunal is at the beginning of its first stage. Notwithstanding this, applications for legal representation were heard in response to a concern that had been raised by some representative bodies that legal advice was needed in order to assist their members in responding to the Tribunal’s Call for Statements.
