British-Irish Agreement (Amendment) Bill, 2002: Second Stage.

 

Section 7(4)(a) gives power to the Taoiseach to nullify this legislation. Procedurally, it would make more sense for the Oireachtas to nullify it. We have never established in law the precedent that the leader of the Executive, the Taoiseach, can nullify a Bill passed by the Oireachtas. I ask the Minister of State for his views on this.
