Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions
Dail Éireann — 2025-04-03
============================================================

Brian Brennan (CC), Wicklow-Wexford

For the record, Questions Nos. 1, 2 and 6 will be grouped. I call Deputy Doherty.

Pearse Doherty (SF), Donegal

My understanding is that priority questions cannot be grouped.

Cian O'Callaghan (SD), Dublin Bay North

Yes, priority questions cannot be grouped.

Brian Brennan (CC), Wicklow-Wexford

I have been informed that they can be grouped.

Pearse Doherty (SF), Donegal

I have never seen that in the history of the Dáil. Priority questions are-----.

Brian Brennan (CC), Wicklow-Wexford

They can be grouped with other priority questions but not with other oral questions.

Pearse Doherty (SF), Donegal

I ask that they not be grouped, with the indulgence of the Chair. It is not fair for them to be grouped. Question No. 1 relates to a major issue.

Paschal Donohoe (FG), Dublin Central

I apologise for being a few minutes late. I was not aware of the change in the time. I did not mean to keep the Cathaoirleach Gníomhach or colleagues waiting. I am in his hands with regard to this. Important announcements were made last night. I am happy to answer questions in whatever way the Cathaoirleach Gníomhach sees fit or whatever way can be agreed by the Dáil. I have been briefed to the effect that these questions are grouped but I am happy, given the seriousness of the issues involved, to handle them in any way the Cathaoirleach Gníomhach feels is appropriate.

Pearse Doherty (SF), Donegal

I propose that we not group them

Brian Brennan (CC), Wicklow-Wexford

I am happy with that.

Pearse Doherty (SF), Donegal

I thank the Cathaoirleach Gníomhach for that.
