‹ Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Toll Roads and Bridges. Minister’s absence at Question Time
Summary
After the Chair announced that remaining questions would appear on the next Order Paper, Keating asked the Government to explain the responsible Minister’s absence. The Chair ruled this was not a point of order, but Keating reiterated his request for courtesy to the House.
On a point of order, would I be in order in suggesting in the most non-contentious way possible, and with great respect to the Minister of State at the Department of the Environment, and expressing gratitude for the few grains of information we got, in future when the appropriate Minister is not available to the House, out of courtesy to the House the Government might tell us where he is or why he is not here.
