Lucinda Creighton (Dublin South East, Independent) | Oireachtas source

I wish to ask the Taoiseach about the statements on the forthcoming European Council meeting which the House is due to take after the Order of Business. I understand that once again the 12 non-aligned Members of the House will be excluded from this debate. We are permanently excluded from making statements on European Council meetings. Will the Taoiseach consider taking a more inclusive approach by affording all Members time to contribute to debates of this nature? Obviously, important decisions are going to be taken at this week's meeting in respect of the future leadership of the European Commission. I am vice president of the European People's Party-----
