Mary Seery Kearney (Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

I was not suggesting that it was a subordinate right within Article 43 but it is being advanced as a qualifying provision. It comes back to the fact that the right is being attached to individuals and not to the Oireachtas. I would have thought putting the impetus and obligation on the Oireachtas would be a more secure means of ensuring it would be more effective in budgetary allocation. If we are always going to have the qualification of available resources it does not secure the right.
