Joint Oireachtas Committee on European Union Affairs

2018 State of the Union Address and Related Matters: European Commission Representation in Ireland

It is the same thing. Two decision are needed. First a decision needs to be made to allow decisions on taxation to be taken by qualified majority. Essentially, when unanimity applies a government still has a veto as it has to give its approval. It could involve deciding to move on individual issues rather than the whole sector.
