- Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (26 Mar 2025)
Ivana Bacik: What happened in the Dáil yesterday is without precedent. Yesterday, the Taoiseach and his Government rammed through a scheme to create a sort of new sham Opposition. Let us be clear: the so-called "Other Members' Questions" is a contrivance manufactured purely to placate the Lowry lobby.
