77. Deputy Peadar Tóibín asked the Minister for Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation when Ireland will ratify the EU trade agreement with Colombia. [23600/14]
View answerI am advised that the Free Trade Agreement between the European Union and its Member States on the one part and the Republic of Colombia and the Republic of Peru on the other, is an agreement within the meaning of Article 29.5.2 of the Constitution. Ratification by Ireland is therefore subject to prior approval of Dáil Éireann. It is my intention to seek the necessary approval of Dáil Éireann during the course of this year.
