Pádraig Mac Lochlainn (Donegal, Sinn Fein)

Does this Government learn nothing? We had the absolute farce and spectacle of the Lowry Independents being in government and in opposition and all that led to, and here we are today with Leaders' Questions, Questions on Policy or Legislation and Taoiseach's Questions gone. The Government is absolutely scrapping accountability today. Just at the stroke of pen, it is scrapping accountability. There is no talk about business committees any more because the Government does what it wants to do. It never learns and it makes a farce of democracy in the House. We are absolutely opposed to this. The Government never learns and it is making a mess of this place again.
