Duncan Smith (Dublin Fingal, Labour) | Oireachtas source

This is spiralling beyond all expectation. This is our third week dealing with it. We have been through two weekend news cycles and it has not gone away. There are acres of space on Wednesday's schedule for this to be brought up. We are looking at the Minister in the Seanad on the screen over our left shoulders. We will not be giving this up. We will be bringing it up again at the Business Committee on Thursday, should the committee be allowed to meet. W are not having requests granted for Business Committee meetings, which is another problem emanating from this. This is spiralling. I ask the Taoiseach to take control of the matter so that we can deal with it once and for all.
