Dáil reform is one of the areas of responsibility for the Minister of State. The sub-committee on Dáil reform has not met since April of this year. Has the Taoiseach sought any updates on proposals for Dáil reform? It is something he has spoken about since he became Taoiseach. When can we expect proposals from the Taoiseach's side of the House because from both Labour and Fine Gael there has been a set of proposals put forward but they have not been listened to on any occasion?

On the same issue,——

Briefly, we are over time.

The Dáil reform sub-committee of the Committee on Procedure and Privileges met on a number of occasions. The Government, or at least the Government representative, brought forward a proposal, as well as Fine Gael and Labour, but at the point where there might have been agreement the Taoiseach vetoed any further development on that and no further meetings have taken place.

The Taoiseach did not want it.

The former Government Whip, who is now a Minister, had to tell us that he could not proceed any further.

The issue of Dáil reform is being addressed in questions further down the Order Paper. We will move on to the Order of Business.

We have asked the Taoiseach a question.

Deputy Kehoe, the issue of Dáil——

We have asked the Taoiseach.

The Ceann Comhairle has made the point. There is a question on the matter and it is being dealt with by the Minister of State.

We asked the Taoiseach a question on Question Time here and he should have the manners to reply to us.

Actually, as the Ceann Comhairle indicated, Deputy Kehoe asked the question after exceeding the time.

I did not put——

He indicated then——

——my question to the Taoiseach, I asked a supplementary.

No, but the Ceann Comhairle runs the House.

I directed my question——

Outside the time.

Deputy Kehoe, a question on Dáil reform should be——

I ask the Taoiseach to answer my question.

There is a question tabled that will be answered.

I directed my question to the Ceann Comhairle. If the Taoiseach had manners in the House, maybe we could get a reply.

We are moving on to the Order of Business.

Arrogance is what the Taoiseach and his Government has in its place.

Deputy Kehoe, please.

Complete arrogance.

I call on the Taoiseach to announce the Order for today.

I must have been right about that.

The party leader should have let the Deputy in sooner to ask the question, that was the problem.
