Emmet Stagg (Kildare North, Labour)

I welcome any proposals on Dáil reform that have a chance of being implemented but the strange timing of the Technical Group motion surprises me. We are in the middle of a process of consultation with the Government Chief Whip about Dáil reform. Given the volume of demands from the Technical Group, I am surprised at the minimalist and miserable offering in the package of Dáil reform proposed by it.
