David Norris (Independent)

I received a courteous note from the Cathaoirleach indicating that this amendment would be ruled out of order because it could create a potential charge on the Exchequer. Will he or the Minister of State indicate what might be the nature of that charge? I have considered the amendment, which does not refer to money, wages etc., and I cannot identify any charge to which it might give rise. It merely proposes the creation of an appeals mechanism.
