Caoimhghín Ó Caoláin (Cavan-Monaghan, Sinn Fein)

I seek the guidance of the Ceann Comhairle in addressing the issue mentioned by Deputy Richard Bruton. The Joint Committee on Finance and the Public Service, which is the substantive body entrusted with addressing matters pertaining to the public service, has now been gagged by virtue of the Government members' voting down a proposal by eight votes to six.
