Paul McAuliffe (Dublin North West, Fianna Fail) | Oireachtas source

I wonder if I might raise a point in a very respectful way. I ask the Ceann Comhairle's office to come back to me on it. On two occasions this week, I have sat through Questions on Promised Legislation and have not been reached on either occasion. There were different people in the Chair. We have a constitutional obligation in this House to hold the Executive to account. Every Member of the House has the right to do that. I spent two days sitting in the Chamber listening to Opposition Deputies rerun Leaders' Questions, not addressing issues which are Questions on Promised Legislation.
