Houses of the Oireachtas Commission Bill 2002: Second Stage.

 

I also welcome the concept of the three-year block grant. I am delighted the Minister has introduced a degree of flexibility to counteract the possibility of funds drying up. The fact that the commission can expend 50% of the previous year's allocation is a sensible measure. I am pleased that the legislation will require to be updated after three years, which will provide us with an opportunity of assessing the degree of workability or progress in the meantime.
