Emmet Stagg (Kildare North, Labour)

The Government amendment to this motion tonight suggests that Dáil reform is a continuous process and is best advanced by cross-party agreement through the sub-committee on Dáil reform, which was established for that purpose — I am quoting from the Minister of State's amendment. However, the Government's true intentions are made apparent by the fact that the sub-committee, chaired by the Minister of State, has not convened even once since the last general election in May 2002.
