Point of order on legality

Summary

Pearse Doherty sought clarification on whether the Taoiseach had indicated the Government would continue breaking the law on assessments of need. The Chair ruled it was not a point of order and pressed the Deputy to resume his seat.

On a point of order, could I get clarification on whether the Taoiseach just informed the Dáil that the Government intends to continue to break the law on this issue?

I have never heard a Government in all my time declare it intends to continue to break the law.
