1:30 pm
David Norris (Independent) | Oireachtas source
I completely understand the Minister's position with regard to the national economy and any threat to the financial well-being of the State, but there may be circumstances, for example, where it would be good if a company was financially disadvantaged where its financial business was determined to be against the interests of the people. I assume that the powers to delay publication exist theoretically and need not be enforced on every occasion so that, if a company was adjudged to be inimical to the best interest of the public good, the Minister could go ahead and publish and be damned.
