Questions procedure

Summary

The Chair outlines the questioning format and time limits for the session with the Minister for Employment Affairs and Social Protection.

Eugene Murphy Acting Chairman Fianna Fáil

Our questions are to an tAire Gnóthaí Fostaíochta agus Coimirce Sóisialaí, Deputy Regina Doherty. The usual procedure is that there are 30 seconds to introduce a question. The Minister has two minutes to respond, Deputies have one minute to ask a supplementary question and the Minister has one minute to reply. Then there is a final supplementary question and reply. I ask Members to adhere strictly to time schedules and not run over on the basis that we try to accommodate as many Deputies as possible with questions and answers.
