============================================================

Róisín Shortall (SD), Dublin North-West

The Minister, Deputy McEntee, has been extremely disingenuous in her handling of this issue. What she is engaged in is a twisting of the truth and, today, the Taoiseach is doing exactly the same. He is twisting the truth. He knows perfectly well that the request is not for her to come in and do the normal oral questions. He knows exactly what we are talking about. What we are asking for is exactly the same as he has asked of other Ministers and has been granted in the past. The question now is what the Taoiseach is afraid of and why he will not uphold the rights of Members of this House.
