Level 5 Response to Covid-19: Statements (Resumed)
Dail Éireann — 2020-10-23
============================================================

Mattie McGrath (IND), Tipperary

On a point of order, a few times this week senior Ministers came in. We had known for some hours that those Ministers were coming in and there were only a handful of us here. Have they no paper? Have they no printers? This is scandalous. This is not fair. He said so many things and he read out regulations. No one could follow them, in fairness. They should have the script. It is an insult to the House and to us Members who were waiting to hear him. They should have it and it happened two or three times this week.
