Deputy Seán Crowe asked the Minister for Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation her views that Article 29.5.2° of Bunreacht na hÉireann places a constitutional imperative on the State to have any international agreement involving a charge upon public funds to be approved by Dáil Éireann; should the European Council of Ministers vote by a qualified majority vote to approve the signing and provisional application of the Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement, and considering the ISDS mechanism of the agreement is designed specifically to allow for a charge upon public funds, her views on whether this would thus create a constitutional crisis for Ireland and the EU whereby Ireland could be the subject of the settlement cases which lead to a charge upon public funds prior to Dáil Éireann approving the agreement; and if she will make a statement on the matter.
