I have no objections to the section and welcome that the Dáil needs to approve an amendment to the agreement. I have argued for such a provision in previous legislation, particularly the Finance (Certain European Union and Intergovernmental Obligations) Bill, which was originally the Single Resolution Board (Loan Facility Agreement) Bill. After some arguing we reached agreement that only the Dáil would have the power to amend to such agreements. Is this a new departure or is it a constitutional requirement that only Dáil Éireann and not simply the Minister can amend the agreement?
