David Stanton (Cork East, Fine Gael)

No. 83 on the Order Paper asks for a change in Standing Orders to allow people to ask supplementary questions on Adjournment debates. Such questions were allowed previously, but that is no longer the case. Will the Government give time to allow the motion to be debated? Making this small procedural change would only take five minutes. Failing that, the Government has been promising changes to Standing Orders to reform the workings of the Dáil for some time. Will we see such proposals before the end of the session?
