I want to make this objection. I am going to vote against this. I am going to try to secure at the next stage the result that we secured to-day when this matter came up on the question of Report. I want to make my position clear. The eloquence and the logic and the arguments of the whole Cabinet, from the President down to the humblest member, have not made the slightest impression on me.
THE DÁIL IN COMMITTEE. - ARTICLE 52.
Article 52 read:—"Ministers who are not members of the Parliament/Oireachtas shall be nominated by a Committee of members of the Chamber/Dáil Eireann chosen by a method to be determined by the Chamber/Dáil so as to be impartially representative of the Chamber/Dáil. Such Ministers shall be chosen with due regard to their suitability for office and should as far as possible be generally representative of the Irish Free State/Saorstát Eireann as a whole rather than of groups or of parties. Should a nomination not be acceptable to the Chamber/Dáil, the Committee shall continue to propose names until one is found acceptable."
