Appropriation Bill 2023: Committee and Remaining Stages
Dail Éireann — 2023-12-13
============================================================

Aengus Ó Snodaigh (SF), Dublin South-Central

How many members of the public understand what the term "appropriation" means, what its consequences are or how important this Bill, which passes each year, is? I remember, because I have been in the House for long enough, how there was no debate on some previous Appropriation Bills. It is good that there is, and there has been in the past. I will come back to the other points I want to raise when we get to the Schedule. I will withdraw the amendment.
