Standing Order 112 Select Committee to hold first meeting

The Select Committee is a transitional committee established by the Dáil to execute Oireachtas powers under the Lisbon Treaty as an interim measure, in particular, to ensure that EU draft legislative acts adhere to the ‘principle of subsidiarity’ as defined under the Treaty.

The first business of the Committee will be to elect a Chairperson. It will then carry out subsidiarity assessment of EU Draft Legislative Proposals.

Committee proceedings can be viewed live .

Committee proceedings can also be viewed on the move, through the Houses of the Oireachtas Smartphone App, available for Apple and Android devices.
