Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions
Dail Éireann — 2025-03-26
============================================================

Micheál Martin (FF), Cork South-Central

There was nothing preconceived. The Ceann Comhairle has a responsibility that the business of the House gets done. The new tactic is this: if we shout loud enough, if we stop everybody on the Government side from talking and if we create mayhem and chaos, the Ceann Comhairle must then adjourn the Dáil and we get our way.
That cannot be the new precedent either but that is what Sinn Féin has been doing from the very start.
