Paul Murphy (PBP), Dublin South-West

I thank the Ceann Comhairle. In the past few minutes the Minister for Justice has said there is no issue with her answering questions. She said she offered to change priority questions and every party said "No", and she said the suggestion is that priority questions cannot be used to hold Ministers to account. It is, again, an insult when very single Opposition party and grouping is saying we want accountability in the form of the Minister coming in to answer questions, with ten or 15 minutes per party, back and forth.
