We had the absolute farce and spectacle of the Lowry Independents being in government and in opposition and all that led to, and here we are today with Leaders' Questions, Questions on Policy or Legislation and Taoiseach's Questions gone.

There is absolutely no reason for the Government to abandon questions to the Taoiseach and accountability by the leader of the country today.
