Section 24 of the Ministers and Secretaries (Amendment) Bill 2011, as passed by the Houses of the Oireachtas, provides for a situation where any doubt, question or dispute arises as to the Minister of the Government in whom any particular function is vested by virtue of this Act. The Ministers in this instance are the Minister for Finance and the Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform. The Bill allows for such a question to be determined by the Taoiseach.
