Gnó na Dála - Business of Dáil
Dail Éireann — 2023-02-22
============================================================

Pádraig Mac Lochlainn (SF), Donegal

A motion was circulated, which was drafted by the Department of Foreign Affairs. My clear understanding from the Business Committee was that an attempt would be made to draft a motion which could obtain the consensus and support of all sides of the House. That was what was agreed by the Business Committee. Rather than doing, we now have a Government motion on which we do not have the wording. I do not understand what has happened. There was an attempt to get consensus, to have the agreement of the House on a motion, and that appears to have been done away with now. There needs to be clarification as to what happened to that attempt. Where do we go from here?
