Emmet Stagg (Kildare North, Labour)

I am asking if he is aware of this because on the basis of what he read out, he is not. The Government Chief Whip on that day had to tell the Opposition Whips that he was vetoed by the Taoiseach. He could not proceed any further and that was the end of Dáil reform. The Taoiseach vetoed progress. Deputy Curran should not bother with another meeting of the Dáil reform sub-committee before Christmas unless he wants to have a goodbye party for it with him as chairman.

See this speech in context
