Dáil Reform. (7 Nov 2007)

Dáil Reform. (7 Nov 2007)

Tom Hayes: With all due respect, it is a long time since the Taoiseach was a backbencher. The most frustrating thing for a backbencher in this House is the daily reading of requests to move the adjournment of the Dáil under Standing Order 32. When Deputies raise in a genuine fashion important matters relevant to their constituencies, they are ruled out of order. Time should be allocated every day...

Tom Hayes: I welcome the opportunity to speak on this very important Bill which deals with land registration and conveyancing.

Every movement of every animal in the State is documented to the minute.
