Consolidated questions to Cabinet

Summary

O’Malley objects that his separate questions to Cabinet members were combined and seeks individual answers; the Chair says the Cabinet decides how to handle them and offers assistance from the Chair’s office.

On a point of order, this relates to Question No. 75 on today's Order Paper in my name. I submitted a question to the Taoiseach and each member of the Cabinet and on today's Order Paper those questions have been combined into one question. Can I have an assurance that I am going to get an individual answer from each Minister as I am entitled to?

The answer from me is "no". I never complain about those things.
