Government Accountability
10:30 am
Paul Kehoe (Wexford, Fine Gael)
Perhaps Deputy Adams should have a chat with his party's spokespersons and give them some tips on how to hold Ministers to account.
The question is about how to hold the Government to account and introduce reforms. We will introduce a reform package in September to make Parliament a place for more meaningful debate and ensure legislation can be swiftly brought through the House. While I do not want to guillotine legislation, we must bear in mind the original purpose for establishing this Parliament, namely, to pass legislation, which is what the Government wants to do.
