168 Deputy Stephen S. Donnelly asked the Minister for Finance if it is the case that Ireland has an effective veto over the ESM due to the fact that Ireland has to ratify the amendment to Article 136 of the treaty on the functioning of the European Union in order for the ESM to be established; if he has considered invoking this veto in order to have recital five of the ESM treaty removed or amended, and what the outcome of that consideration was; if he agrees that recital five is not in our national interest and that its removal or amendment, therefore, would be in our national interest; and if he has not considered invoking the veto over the ESM by refusing to ratify the amendment to Article 136, if he will explain why not.
