The Deputy will be aware that the Programme for Government contains a range of measures, including the one referred to by the Deputy in his Question, to reform and modernise the ways in which the Dáil carries out its functions. The Government Chief Whip will bring forward proposals to give effect to the commitments in the Programme as they relate to Dáil Reform, for consideration by the Government in the first instance. Once a package of proposals has been agreed at Government, the Chief Whip will consult on them with the other Party Whips through the Dáil Reform Sub-Committee of the Committee on Procedure and Privileges.
