Micheál Martin (Cork South Central, Fianna Fail) | Oireachtas source

This question is very apt given Pat Leahy had a very interesting article in today's The Irish Timeswhere anonymous but very real sources say that the poor legislative record of the Government to date has now become very poor and that it is paralysed. There are two reasons: one is the current issues within Fine Gael; and the second is that the Government is very worried that if it produces legislation, the Oireachtas might amend it during its passage.
