Agreements with Members.
2:30 pm
Enda Kenny (Mayo, Fine Gael)
In the case of Deputies Healy-Rae or Lowry, for example, does the Whip meet with both Independent Deputies on a weekly basis, together with somebody from the Taoiseach's office? Is that a good use of a public servant's time? These are so-called secret deals that nobody knows anything about except the Government, the Whip and the person from the Taoiseach's office. Are these meetings a progress report on road X or project Y? Is that the kind of format the Whip and the person from the Taoiseach's office goes through in order to see that the Independents in question are kept comfortable?
