Catherine Connolly (IND), Galway West

Is sciobtha é a rá go n-aontaím go huile is go hiomlán. I fully agree. From day one of the Covid-19 crisis there has been an attempt to stop the Dáil sitting. I do not believe that is acceptable. I have turned up every week, as have my colleagues. We have to show leadership. We have to give people a forum for debate and allow them to ask questions. Restricting the Dáil to sitting one day a week in order to facilitate discussions is simply not acceptable.
