Order of Business.
12:00 pm
Leo Varadkar (Dublin West, Fine Gael)
To sign an order and bring it into effect two weeks before it is put it in the Oireachtas Library, before it appears in the Iris Oifigiúil and before we can even challenge it is no way to treat Parliament. Why have a Parliament at all if the Taoiseach is going to govern by decree as if he is the President of Russia? This is a Parliament and we are elected. The Taoiseach should not do this without at least laying the order before the House and holding a debate on it.
