I am very happy to get the legal opinion, but there is a question for us as to whether we should have consideration of the issue within our terms of reference. My understanding is that it actually would require a change to the Constitution, but regardless of that, it is one of the single biggest impediments to the Oireachtas engaging with money Bills, rather than just scrutinising them.
