Brian Hayes (Fine Gael)

The point is the Minister was not in the House. We are not going to participate in a sham debate today if he is not in the House to participate in it. I put the Leader on notice of that. I know it is not her problem. In fairness, she orders the business and expects Ministers to be present. The Minister should have been in the House yesterday. I expect that in response to my question, he will be here today. If not, we will oppose the Order of Business.
