Probably not. However, as I noted earlier, Oireachtas committees might have had powers to call people in to ask them questions and test the veracity of senior Ministers' claims about how good things were. There was theoretically the potential, through the powers already available to committees, for the Oireachtas to have been more active than it actually was.
