I agree that the Minister is correct to say Dáil approval is not required in this case. The real question is whether the Minister will proceed to sell AIB without the consent of the Dáil. Is the Minister confident that he would have the consent or support of the Dáil? If so, then why not have a motion? That would be the appropriate thing to do.
