Michael Healy-Rae (Kerry, Independent) | Oireachtas source

We were able to have votes in this Chamber last week, which proved that we have a system for allowing a vote to go ahead. I cannot see why the workings of this House are being obstructed such that votes are not allowed to proceed. It is only common sense that they should go ahead. We have proved we can do it and I do not see why we cannot do it this week.
