Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 27 November 2014
79. Deputy Peadar Tóibín asked the Minister for Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation if he will seek a debate with the necessary approval of Dáil Éireann for the free trade agreement between the European Union and Colombia before the Christmas recess. [45577/14]
View answerThe Free Trade Agreement between the European Union and its Member States and the Republic of Colombia and the Republic of Peru, 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 before the end of this year.
