Ministers’ absence from the House

Summary

Fitzgerald complained that no Minister was present during Question Time and afterward, prompting heckling and a warning from the Chair against bringing the House into disrepute.

Gene Fitzgerald Fianna Fáil

Is it not shabby treatment of this House that throughout the second half of Question Time and for the quarter hour since, there has not been a Minister in the House? What is wrong with the Government? Where have they gone? Are they checking the bugging devices in Howth?
