An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business
2:45 am
Mary Lou McDonald (Dublin Central, Sinn Fein) | Oireachtas source
I thank the Ceann Comhairle. Contrary to the Taoiseach's assertion, the actual priority for this new cobbled-together grubby-deal Government is actually jobs for the boys, and for the few girls who might be lucky enough to make an appearance. Its desire to divvy out the spoils of government is unparalleled in the history of this House. The Order of Business proposes more positions, more allowances and more expense for the taxpayer but the Government wants all of this without even basic pre-legislative scrutiny. The Government expects us to tolerate this going through on the nod. That is not going to happen and it is completely and utterly unacceptable.
