It can make a recommendation to either House of the Oireachtas to annul that. It would then, obviously, need to be passed by a majority.

I have some sympathy with Deputy Ó Cuív when he says we should try to make it a matter of course that a committee would be involved in discussing regulations. There are, however, times when the Minister needs to act quickly and may not have the luxury of getting the input of a committee before finalising a regulation. That is the issue.
