Emmet Stagg (Kildare North, Labour)

In the matter of Dáil reform, which was raised by my colleague, Deputy Stanton, yesterday, I want to again thank the Ceann Comhairle for his guidance in steering all parties towards agreement on a package on Dáil reform in the middle of last year, albeit modest but important, which was referred then to the Government for decision. We are waiting for the Government on that package on Dáil reform, which has been agreed by all parties for a very long time. I realise that other matters might have been given greater priority in the course of the last six months, but it is very important that we attend to that. I thank the Ceann Comhairle for his assistance and guidance in that matter, which assisted all the parties to get agreement on that package of Dáil reform.
