Bernard Durkan (Kildare North, Fine Gael)

No it is not. That is a different issue altogether. My question concerns the rights Members had; it has nothing to do with Dáil reform. The suggestion is that we have Dáil reform in order to give back the rights we had five years ago, namely, the right to get an answer to a parliamentary question. The Ceann Comhairle can ask any Member of these benches if I am telling a lie. I can assure him there is more to come. This is a serious issue. We have seen a gradual erosion of rights. The only person who can deal with this issue is the Taoiseach.
