Order of Business
10:30 am
Joe O'Toole (Independent)
There is no question but that the House should discuss this issue, although I accept the Cathaoirleach's point that the Government is answerable to the other House. However, the political situation is causing incredulity and bemusement among ordinary people who cannot understand what is occurring. To have some knowledge, it would be useful to provide time to discuss events which we should consider in simple terms, without engaging in oppositional politics. Five or six members of the Cabinet indicating they will not run for re-election is not a problem.
