I do not usually get chirpy about this sort thing, but the Minister has raised an extremely important issue in respect of whether this should be certified as a money Bill. That matter can be dealt with in the Dáil in the next hour but it cannot be dealt with here. If there is a question mark over whether this particular aspect could or could not attract a certificate from the Ceann Comhairle, that can only be resolved there. It ought not to constrain this House in putting through a recommendation we think is important. If the Minister has that concern, he can raise it in the Dáil this evening and it can be dealt with. If there is a question mark over the certificate, it can only be resolved there.

It does a disservice to this House at this late stage to say essentially that we cannot pass a recommendation in respect of such an important question, because of a constraint that can only be dealt with somewhere else. Let us have our debate in here.
