Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions
The time is up Deputy. The Taoiseach to conclude on this important matter.
Seán Ó Fearghaíl
Rhetoric & votes →On prevailing side: this member voted with the winning side in 312 of 313 decisive votes (0 abstentions excluded). Read it as a government-or-opposition indicator rather than a measure of influence — the figure is near 100% for members supporting the government of the day and near 0% for those opposing it.

People have been asking important questions. The Taoiseach has asked for a little time to answer those questions. Will Deputies let him answer?

I cannot predict what the Taoiseach is going to say. The Deputies have asked him questions. Will they let him answer?

We will extend questions on promised legislation by five minutes. The Taoiseach has attempted to answer questions that Deputies have persistently raised. Deputy McDonald has asked her question. I will move to Deputy Kelly.

Ceisteanna ar Reachtaíocht a Gealladh - Questions on Promised Legislation
We look to the leaders to supply leadership and set examples. Maybe we can stop the clock for a minute. People have understandably been asking the Taoiseach if the Minister will come in and answer questions. He has told us that he wants the Business Committee to meet. I will convene a meeting of the Business Committee this afternoon with a view to seeing what arrangements can be made for the Minister for Justice, Deputy McEntee, to come in. Are we saying that he does not want the Minister to come in tomorrow?

I need to get clarity on this. Members have repeatedly requested that the Minister for Justice come to the House. I ask Deputy McDonald to resume her seat. The Taoiseach has come in and said that he would request the Business Committee to meet. I am prepared to convene the Business Committee this afternoon, with a view to arranging a meeting here at which the Minister for Justice would answer the questions that Members have. Are we now saying that we do not want to do that? Is that what Deputies are saying? If that…
