‹ Leaders' Questions Late timing of Leaders’ Questions
Summary
Deputy Martin criticised the late scheduling of Leaders’ Questions, while the Taoiseach cited prior engagements and Members exchanged brief interjections.
The Taoiseach might in passing confirm that the reason Leaders' Questions are being taken at this late hour is that he was opening a news room. Apparently, that took priority over Leaders' Questions.

The Taoiseach might confirm if that is the case.
Comment on this
The Topical Issue debate was taken before Leaders' Questions and it is now 8.25 p.m. It is a serious undermining of the status of Leaders' Questions for us to be asking serious questions at this hour of the evening.

The Deputy will not get any answers anyway.
