Questions on Promised Legislation procedure
The Chair concluded the session and observed that the format was functioning more like topical issues than promised legislation questions. The Taoiseach and Members briefly reflected on the House's flexibility and the need to consider reform.
That concludes Questions on Promised Legislation. It occurs to me, not for the first time, that Questions on Promised Legislation has morphed into a form of Topical Issue debate and questions could be about whatever you are having yourself. It appears we need to discuss these matters, maybe at the reform committee, to see how we could do things a little bit more efficiently.
Comment on this
The Parliament is an inflexible sort of forum now and again or, at least, when I came in here first, that is the way it used to be.
