- Committee on Scrutiny of Draft EU-related Statutory Instruments: Engagement with Minister of State at the Department of Foreign Affairs (17 Jul 2024)
Mark Daly: I appreciate the Minister of State's bona fides on this issue. I know she wants to make it work. This situation has been going on for 50 years. I and others fought hard to have this committee established. It was set up on foot of a Cabinet decision. Its title is the Seanad Select Committee on the Scrutiny of Draft EU-related Statutory Instruments. The title reflects what we are supposed...
- Committee on Scrutiny of Draft EU-related Statutory Instruments: Engagement with Minister of State at the Department of Foreign Affairs (17 Jul 2024)
Mark Daly: We are being told we are not allowed to see the legislation that is about to be signed into law. If I am wrong on this, I will stand corrected. The legislation we are discussing is analogous to laws initiated by the Oireachtas. In that case, a process of over-and-back engagement is fine. We have White Papers, pre-legislative scrutiny and so on. We are all familiar with that process....

- Committee on Scrutiny of Draft EU-related Statutory Instruments: Engagement with Minister of State at the Department of Foreign Affairs (17 Jul 2024)
Mark Daly: I know the Minister of State was given a note by her officials. What she referred to has happened once in the history of the State. It is laid before the library. It requires a process that has happened once, and even that did not sustain itself. In the context of comments to the effect that it can be put on the record and we can annul it afterwards, we do not want to annul legislation....

- Committee on Scrutiny of Draft EU-related Statutory Instruments: Engagement with Minister of State at the Department of Foreign Affairs (17 Jul 2024)
Mark Daly: The point is this: what the Attorney General is effectively saying is that TDs and Senators are not allowed to see that law before it becomes law. Am I misinterpreting anything? We are being told that the draft regulation the Minister gets is privileged, that when the Minister puts his or her signature to it, it becomes law, that TDs and Senators are not allowed to see it, scrutinise it or...
