I understand. When the Oireachtas has a vote it typically means that the Government has a vote and it typically means that the Minister has the decision. We are in a very unusual space in that the Oireachtas is not necessarily the will of a Government or a Minister currently. Nine years out of ten they are one and the same thing. I mean the Minister, the Government and Oireachtas share the same view.
