An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business
Dail Éireann — 2023-01-18
============================================================

Róisín Shortall (SD), Dublin North-West

The Taoiseach said twice earlier that the Minister, Deputy Donohoe, would be answering questions. The Order of Business as the Ceann Comhairle circulated this morning does not allow for that. It allows for five-minute statements from each of the Opposition parties. Can we get clarification on whether each of those five-minute slots can be used for back-and-forth questions and answers from each of the Opposition parties and the Minister? It is important for that to happen. There is no reason, as I understand it, that could not happen. Will the Taoiseach clarify that, please?
