British-Irish Agreement (Amendment) Bill, 2002: Committee and Remaining Stages.
Paschal Mooney (Fianna Fail)
I know I am jumping ahead but can the Minister of State add anything to the reference in paragraph 2(b) of the Schedule that any reference to the Assembly shall be read as a reference to the United Kingdom Parliament? Is that then by inference that the United Kingdom Parliament has overall sovereignty in relation to these matters? It says in paragraph 2(b) that any reference to the Assembly shall be read as a reference to the United Kingdom Parliament. Would that cover the point being made by Senator Hayes?
