Vol. 1 No. 17

DEBATES ON ADJOURNMENT. - ARTICLE 36. APPROPRIATION OF MONEY.

Mr. KEVIN O'HIGGINS:

Article 36 reads:—"Money shall not be appropriated by vote, resolution or law, unless the purpose of the appropriation has in the same session been recommended by a message from the Representative of the Crown acting on the advice of the Executive Council." That is simply the ordinary Constitutional practice in the countries that our Constitution is in certain respects modelled on. I beg to move Article 36.

AN LEAS CHEANN COMHAIRLE:

May I take it that Article 36 is agreed upon?

Mr. T. JOHNSON:

With a formal protest.

Mr. KEVIN O'HIGGINS:

We made such a formal protest.

Motion made and question put: "That Article 36 stand part of the Bill."

Agreed.
