Eamon Gilmore (Dún Laoghaire, Labour)

While I am sure the Taoiseach will table a motion, I want answers to my questions now. Does a rotational arrangement exist? Is the Taoiseach aware of it and will he tell the House about it?

I know all about the current industrial relations dispute and the difficulties it is causing for making representations and so on. That is not the issue I am raising with the Taoiseach. My question is how Ministers will fulfil their obligations under the Constitution to give answers to Members of Dáil Éireann who ask questions of them.
