Thomas Pringle (IND), Donegal

I join the calls to the effect that the Minister has to be accountable to the House because, ultimately, it is where the Government is supposed to be accountable. It is very interesting and telling the difference that moving across to the other side of the House has made in this case. If the Taoiseach was on this side, he would be calling for the Minister to come to the House but because he is over there he is blocking it. That is the reality of the situation.
