‹ An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business CAP debate time and clarification
Summary
Mattie McGrath challenged the Taoiseach’s claim that CAP had already been comprehensively debated, insisting his group had only five minutes and that no proper debate had been held. The Ceann Comhairle refused further points of clarification.
The Opposition Members are saying two to three weeks ago and now it has gone to a month.
Comment on this
My understanding is that there was a debate in the House on the Common Agricultural Policy and there was a reasonable expectation that such a debate would not be sought again given the fact there was a comprehensive debate already on it.
Comment on this
On a point of clarification, our group had a contribution of five minutes in that debate. If the Taoiseach calls that a comprehensive debate, that is nonsense.
