Houses of the Oireachtas Commission Bill 2002: Second Stage.

 

I welcome as enlightened the proposed budgetary arrangements, with the principal exception of the caveat relating to pay and conditions which is justifiable. The rest is delegated, which is proper order. Spending within the House will be under strict Civil Service control, subject to general political direction. People do not need to worry or be concerned about any abuse of that power. I welcome this. Perhaps there is an element of pilot experiment, which is good.
