Patrick O'Donovan (Limerick, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

As I have pointed out to the Chief Whip previously, Government backbenchers get the same amount of speaking time in the Chamber as Technical Group members. Fine Gael and Labour Party have 70 backbenchers and we are treated the same in the context of speaking time as a group that have cobbled together an arrangement and called themselves a Technical Group.
