Tommy Broughan (Dublin North East, Labour) | Oireachtas source

Yesterday we had no business in the Dáil for more than three hours. It seems to have become a characteristic of this Government in recent months where we have long stretches when business collapses. It may be the responsibility of the Chief Whip, and of the other Whips, that for some reason he is not able to manage the business of the House in such a way as to keep the business flowing.
