Select Committee on Social Protection
Convention on Social Security between the Government of Ireland and the Government of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland
John Curran (Dublin Mid West, Fianna Fail) | Oireachtas source
Our ratification process is in our hands. The UK process is not in our hands and we have to assume it will happen. The Minister made the interesting point that if the ratification is not complete payments will continue because the Minister can issue a regulation while the ratification is in process. How long can the Minister work under that regulation? Is it time specific or is it open ended?
