Well yes, but it couldn't be referred without good reason. You're right though, her powers are too limited.

i was thinking about this, what if cowen went to the president and and asked her to use her discretionary powers to refuse to disolve the dail in the event of them losing confidence in him, he could claim the national interest and stay in power until the finance bill was complete without the support of the dail
