Complaint about combining question sessions
Ahern objects that combining Defence and Public Service questions limits his opportunity to ask questions, while the Ceann Comhairle says scheduling is for the Whips. Brief procedural exchanges follow.
I purposely put in very few Fianna Fáil questions so that we could get an opportunity to raise them. This will be the last time for four and a half months that I shall be allowed to ask a question. I ask the Ceann Comhairle to make sure that this silly idea of adding together Defence and Public Service questions be stopped.

The Deputy is wasting time. It was a question to the Taoiseach and that has been excluded. The time is divided after that.
