Dáil rules correspondence

Summary

Deputy Adams sought assurance that no party could manoeuvre through Dáil rules, but the Ceann Comhairle ruled the point irrelevant to promised legislation and said it would be handled by the Business Committee.

Before I come to my question, we learned today that the Fianna Fáil leader has written to the Ceann Comhairle in an attempt to roll back on the reforms that have been brought in. This is all part of the play-acting of Opposition and Government at the same time. I am looking for an assurance that no party is allowed to manoeuvre its way through the rules of the Dáil.

I do not think that is a matter that is relevant to promised legislation. It is a matter that was considered by the Dáil Business Committee today. The correspondence received by the committee will be responded to based on its decisions.
