An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business
Dail Éireann — 2021-05-25
============================================================

Mairéad Farrell (SF), Galway West

Sinn Féin wrote to the Business Committee last week regarding the Government's submission to the EU recovery fund. Last week, it was announced that the Government was to make its submission to that fund this week, without it having been discussed in the Dáil at any point or at committee level. This involves €853 million, which is significant. We wrote to the Business Committee about this and the Government has agreed to have it discussed next week. Is the Government, therefore, postponing its submission to next week so it can be brought to the Dáil, Members can scrutinise it and proposals can be made? That is a key part of the democratic process.
