The business and issues facing the country have effectively been driven off the agenda for the rest of the week. That to me is unacceptable. On the first day of the new Taoiseach's ascension into office, there will be no Leaders' Questions and no Taoiseach's Questions. A debate on disability has been bumped off the agenda. Questions of finance have been bumped off the agenda. That is not the way to start a new Government. It is not acceptable. Just because we are having this jamboree today is not a reason to take business off the agenda which is of extreme importance to ordinary people in this country.
