Simon Coveney (Cork South Central, Fine Gael)

It is unfortunate that some Deputies were caught off guard in regard to Priority Questions. It was only agreed at a late stage last week that the Dáil would sit today. Sinn Féin Deputies have not had an opportunity to submit questions. If they or any other Deputies have specific questions they would like answered I will happily try to facilitate them verbally or through e-mail.
