With regard to Dáil reform and the legislation required for it, the Government has tabled an amendment to the Private Member's motion before the House this week which states it has put forward proposals for Dáil reform. It forgot to state the Taoiseach had vetoed the proposals which the Government put forward. On foot of this, perhaps there has been a change of mind at Government level on Dáil reform. Has the Taoiseach lifted the veto on the implementation of meetings about Dáil reform? Will a meeting of the Sub-Committee on Dáil Reform take place in the near future? It is under the chairmanship of the Chief Whip and Minister of State, Deputy John Curran.
