proposed that to provide for occasions when the Dáil could not meet as a Dáil a Grand Committee of the Dáil be formed by each constituency selecting one of its members to represent them in the Dáil.
There were, he said, about 40 constituencies and if they had 40 persons in addition to the Ministry they would have a body which would keep a check on the Cabinet. If the House was willing to delegate to a committee consisting of one member from each constituency instead of the number at present it would enable them to carry on in times of distress.
