In cases where follow-up action by the Ombudsman does appear necessary, that is, where it is possible for the institution concerned to eliminate the instance of maladministration, or in cases where the maladministration is particularly serious, or has general implications, the Ombudsman normally makes a dra recommendation to the institution or body concerned.
I gcásanna gur léir nach gá don Ombudsman gníomhaíocht leantach a dhéanamh, is é sin, sa chás gur féidir leis an institiúid bainteach an drochriarachán a dhíchur, nó i gcásanna go bhfuil an drochriarachán an-dáiríre, nó go bhfuil impleachtaí ginearálta aige, is iondúil go dtugann an tOmbudsman dréachtmholadh don institiúid nó comhlacht ábhartha.
