Use of Dáil time for questions

Summary

Deputy Skelly objected to the time spent on these questions; the Chair said the matter was not in order and pointed to the written-question procedure.

In relation to these questions and what Deputy B. Ahern said earlier, would the Minister consider dispensing with this wasteful use of the Dáil's time?

That is not in order. There is a separate procedure where Deputies may put down written questions.
