I tabled a question for priority on the wage agreement, Sustaining Progress, and the progress on the current round of talks. I was rather amazed to hear it was ruled out of order because the Minister had answered questions previously on the matter. I was looking for a progress report on the national pay talks.

Queries about the validity of a question should be made to the Ceann Comhairle's office.

Perhaps the Leas-Cheann Comhairle might bring it to the office's attention.

Unfortunately, the Deputy did not submit a substitute question.

I did not expect I would need one when a question was answered previously on the same matter.

I suggest the Deputy contact the Ceann Comhairle's office.

I will get another way.
