Sir, – Donal Murphy (“Mismanaging the economy”, Letters, November 9th) writes: “Suppose a taoiseach-appointed Senator, with economic expertise was to be made minister for finance”.
Under the Constitution, a maximum of two Senators can be members of a government at any one time; however, a minister for finance must be an elected member of Dáil Éireann. – Yours, etc,
PAUL DELANEY,
Dalkey.
