Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions
Dail Éireann — 2024-03-21
============================================================

Ivana Bacik (LAB), Dublin Bay South

It is delaying important decisions. That is patently the case. It is failing to make, and delaying, important decisions such as the introduction of State-owned accommodation for refugees. It is putting stays on Opposition legislation to avoid having to deal with them – stays that will last just beyond the term of the Government. Only this month, it allowed a Labour motion on housing to pass without saying anything about implementing it.
If the Tánaiste is setting his face against a general election, what is he going to do to change his Government's policies and focus over the next year, which is all that is left? Will he just allow a temporary Taoiseach to stand in and allow this political stagnation continue?
