An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business
Dail Éireann — 2023-05-03
============================================================

Leo Varadkar (FG), Dublin West

In regard to the issue raised by Deputy Paul Murphy, again I want to be clear about what I meant last week. It is the job of Dáil Éireann to hold Ministers to account. Of course Ministers should come in here and make statements and answer questions in regard to their ministerial responsibilities. However, this matter does not relate to the Minister of State, Deputy Collins's, ministerial responsibilities. It relates to events of the Bruff area committee, 16 years ago. That is a different matter, in my view.
