Richard Boyd Barrett (Dún Laoghaire, People Before Profit Alliance)

It is not just me. That frustration is felt across the House during the Order of Business.

The Government's proposals represent improvements which should make this a better and more responsive Chamber for debate and allow us to raise topical issues. Credit where credit is due for this, although the Technical Group should take some of the credit for putting forward this week's Private Members' motion on political reform. Even though the Government chose to delete the motion and replace it with its own programme for reform, it nonetheless appears that some of the points we raised were taken on board.
