Questions on Promised Legislation
12:40 pm
Paschal Donohoe (Dublin Central, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source
The Deputy is well aware of the legal framework and precedent in respect of discussions which take place at Cabinet. This Cabinet had conducted many discussions on many matters over the last two years that have not reached the public arena and not been the subject of inquiry and debate. The Taoiseach has, on a number of occasions, outlined the responsibilities of Cabinet members in respect of discussions. With the support of the Deputy's own party in proving to many that the arrangement we have in place is capable of responding to both the challenges and opportunities facing Ireland, I assure him that the Cabinet collectively lives up to its responsibilities and responds with action to many of the issues the Dáil wants us to deal with.
