I appreciate the Chair's indulgence. I am not trying to turn the Taoiseach into a dictator. What I am trying to do is to reinforce a constitutional order which clearly only applies in the case of the Taoiseach. My own view is that a phrase such as "the Taoiseach, with the consent of the Minister for Finance", is a standard, stock phrase that goes into all legislation where it would be "the Minister, with the consent of the Minister for Finance". I think it is included in this Bill in error because it is the standard way of doing things. I believe it is an error and that it should be amended. That is all I wanted to say. I believe it is an error because of the unique position of the Taoiseach vis-À-vis the Minister for Finance, which is different to that of any other Minister.
