Arbitration (Amendment) Bill 2025: Report and Final Stages
Seanad Éireann — 2026-06-09
============================================================

Chris Andrews (SF), Labour Panel

This amendment seeks to address the issues raised in a previous amendment regarding the legal compatibility of the Bill with the EU treaties, especially Article 4(3) of the Treaty on European Union, and with CETA itself. Has the Minister of State spoken to the Commission about this legislation? Has he spoken to Council colleagues from member states that have ratified CETA and would therefore be subject to an entirely different process than is envisaged in the agreement?
