Pat Rabbitte (Dublin South West, Labour)

Questions like these about Cabinet sub-committee meetings have been the traditional method used to permit the head of Government to answer broad questions such as those posed by Deputy Ó Caoláin. The Ceann Comhairle has constantly, persistently and consistently narrowed the scope of questions that this House might legitimately put to the Taoiseach to such a point that it is not worth our while standing up to ask a question anymore. Therefore, I do not propose to ask a question.
