Order of Business
11:00 am
Eugene Regan (Fine Gael)
I endorse the objections to the procedures followed in the appointments to the Standards in Public Office Commission. I believe they are slipshod. We have had issues regarding standards in public office and the Tribunals of Inquiry Bill. This is the wrong way to do business. There should be consultation and agreement on this issue.
The Government has a tendency to take refuge in U-turns on matters such as provisional driving licences, Cabinet pay increases and water charges.
