Minister attendance during Question Time
Deputy Haughey challenged the absence of a Minister on the front bench; the Chair said there was no requirement for one as long as the House had a quorum.
: On a point of order, is the House in full session when there is no Minister on the front bench?

: Is it not a matter of courtesy to the House that some Minister would find it worth his while to sit on the front bench during Question Time? Now I see a Minister coming into the House. Bravo. Well done.
