David Stanton (Cork East, Fine Gael)

The Minister for Transport has a personal interest in motion No. 80 on the Order Paper of Tuesday, 23 February, which deals with Dáil reform. Three of the Ministers present today are members of the Government's Dáil reform committee, which met last May. Will the Government give time to discuss this motion, which proposes that a supplementary question be allowed on the Adjournment Debate? Will the Government make progress on Dáil reform? The Joint Committee on the Constitution will meet next week but nothing has come from Government, despite the Chief Whip's best efforts. This has become a national joke. What is the Government's position on Dáil reform and on this motion?
