No question would arise, on Ireland's accession to the European Communities, of altering the principle of collective responsibility set out in sub-section 2º of section 4 of Article 28 of the Constitution.
Is the Taoiseach satisfied that that principle has been adhered to over the recent 12 months?
Yes.
