Education Minister statements
Mary Lou McDonald challenged the Taoiseach on whether he was open to debate, and the Ceann Comhairle confirmed the Business Committee would look at extending the week's schedule. Agreement was reached to facilitate additional debate.
The Taoiseach did not answer the Deputy's question.
Comment on this
I just want to clarify. I will consult with the Business Committee this afternoon and we will see how the schedule for the rest of the week can be extended to take on board the requests from Members and the agreement of the Taoiseach to facilitate additional debate. Is that agreed? Agreed.
