An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business
Dail Éireann — 2021-02-17
============================================================

Peadar Tóibín (AON), Meath West

Accountability and democracy should not be victims of Covid. They are more important now in this crisis than they ever were. Ministers are being insulated from accountability within this Chamber due to the lack of opportunity available to the Opposition to debate the crisis in areas such as nursing homes, vaccines roll-out, education and housing. I appeal to the Government to support a return to a three-day Dáil week.
