Pearse Doherty (Donegal, Sinn Fein) | Oireachtas source

I wish to talk about the timeframe. I hear what the Minister is saying in terms of next year. I do not think there is a Member of the Dáil or Seanad who has not had the issue of eligibility raised with him or her on numerous occasions so it is good that this is being reviewed. I ask the Minister to try to review this as quickly as he can. The Committee on Budgetary Oversight could also have a role in future policy direction on this matter. There is a role for the Oireachtas in its entirety in terms of looking at this issue.
