It is clear that my support for the principle of this Bill must be tempered by a Government health warning that if the Bill is to go further, it will be necessary to table extensive amendments to the entirety of the Bill if it is to achieve in a satisfactory way the aim, which the Senator and I share, of amending our statutory citizenship code. It must be put beyond doubt that it cannot be used, at some future date, by some Government with a less fastidious sense of duty than the current incumbents, to put in place a scheme of naturalisation based on investments or the promise of investments in the State, or to revive the former scheme or any close relative of it. In addition, we should not underestimate the issues involved in arriving at suitable provisions to bring about the desired result, in particular where there is a strong argument that the former scheme and any future schemes are already precluded by the current language of the Citizenship Acts. If the view I entertained as Attorney General and now as Minister that the current Act does not justify people handing over money and having, without further association, citizenship granted to them, leads to the putting in place of a statutory prohibition on such behaviour to tie the hands of future Governments, we have to be clear that the new formula will be such as not to prevent unintended consequences. This is something that would have to be teased out if this measure goes to committee.
