Oireachtas committee representation
Peter Mathews asks the Government Chief Whips to reconsider a motion on committee membership and representation; the Ceann Comhairle rules that the matter cannot be debated during the Order of Business.
At the end of the Order of Business yesterday there was confusion. I was not at all clear because Deputy Catherine Murphy had pointed out that the Taoiseach's reply to Deputy Lucinda Creighton's request to bring forward a motion on the composition of Oireachtas committees had not been correct. He responded that it was advisable for the Deputies who had sought to be included in committees to make an application to the Technical Group.

Will the Tánaiste ask the Government Chief Whip and the deputy Chief Whip from the Labour Party to reconsider this fair and democratic motion brought forward yesterday and approve it at an early date?
