A simple issue of changing Dáil Standing Orders, to which reference has been made, to allow one member of the 16-member Technical Group to input into the Order of Business is being resisted. I have been flatly told that it will not be acceded to by the Whips. Essentially, if we cannot even get that small change, we must ask ourselves what chance is there of getting meaningful change in terms of Dáil reform. That is not the way our democracy should function.
