Micheál Martin (Cork South-Central, Fianna Fail) | Oireachtas source

-----as is normal and natural for any Dáil and that is our view.

On the issue raised by Deputy Mac Lochlainn, I have been consistent throughout this Dáil and the last, in terms of accountability in this House. The Executive is accountable to the House. I do not believe Ministers are accountable for the behaviour or whatever issues pertain to any individual of the other House, in this House. I do not think it is allowed under Standing Orders.
