Order of Business (6 Mar 2008)

Tommy Broughan: I have a brief question for the Leas-Cheann Comhairle. The Labour Party's priority question on transport was ruled out once again. The Ceann Comhairle said in an article in The Irish Times last week that he intends to reform the House's operations. When is he going to start? It is a basic question of public interest.

Tommy Broughan: Fianna Fáil has been in Government for 11 years.
