Time for questions process

Summary

The Ceann Comhairle closes questions on promised legislation and apologises to Members not reached. Sean Sherlock objects to time constraints excluding Deputies and asks for a review of procedures; the Ceann Comhairle says he is happy to consider that.

That concludes questions on promised legislation. I apologise to the 16 Members who had indicated and whose questions were not raised.

Is there any way that we can facilitate time in this House for this very important segment? We all have a number of issues to raise. I think it would be appropriate for us to review the practices and procedures of this House.

I am happy to do that if that is what the Deputy wishes.

It would allow for more Deputies to be included in the process.
