Central Bank and Financial Services Authority of Ireland Bill 2002: Committee Stage.
10:30 am
Mary O'Rourke (Fianna Fail)
We will not make this too personal. We can have a giggle about it but apart from the many matters on which he has to consult all the time, this is a financial measure for which responsibility rests with him as Minister for Finance, not with the Minister with responsibility for consumer affairs. Given that when dealing with an earlier amendment we ruled the Director of Consumer Affairs out of the deliberative process, it follows that the Minister with responsibility for consumer affairs would not be involved in the process.
