Ministers and Secretaries (Amendment) Bill 2011: Committee Stage (Resumed) and Remaining Stages
8:00 am
Martin Conway (Fine Gael)
The Minister appears to be future-proofing himself against any landmines that might be uncovered. We know that most likely there will not be any, but if there were to be a change of Administration and there were two new Ministers in the future who possibly end up giving directions and interfering in each other's work, the provision ensures there will be a final adjudicator. While I might be reading it incorrectly, that is my perception.
