‹ Ceisteanna-Questions. Oral Answers. Objection to handling of Priority Questions
Summary
Deenihan objected to how his questions were being taken and said he would complain to the Procedure and Privileges Committee; the Ceann Comhairle rebuked him for interrupting, and McCreevy quipped that the Chair was tougher than two Cork footballers.
The questions we are about to embark on are Priority Questions for which 20 minutes only is provided in Standing Orders.
Comment on this
On a point of order, and with no disrespect to the Minister, I object to the way some of my questions are being taken.
Comment on this
The Deputy is not entitled to make such a point and he is interfering with the precious time available for dealing with Priority Questions. I resent this interference.
