European Communities (Amendment) Bill, 2002: Committee and Remaining Stages.

 

It was always the intention and understanding of the Government that any such measures under Article 29.4.8o would be subject to full scrutiny in addition to the constitutional requirement for the approval of both Houses of the Oireachtas. However, to remove any uncertainty and arising from the prompting of the Labour Party amendment, we are happy to make this explicit. I am grateful to the Senator and his party for agreeing to endorse the approach we have adopted. It is a good compromise.
