Ministerial rota for parliamentary questions
The Minister of State moved a motion to temporarily alter the order in which ministers would take oral parliamentary questions, after the questions to Defence.
I move:
That, notwithstanding anything in the Order of the Dáil of 5th February, 2025, setting out the rota in which Questions to members of the Government are to be asked, Questions for oral answer, following those set down to the Minister for Defence on 16th December, 2025, shall be set down to Ministers in the following temporary sequence:
Minister for Children, Disability and Equality
Minister for Climate, Energy and the Environment
whereupon the sequence established by the Order of 5th February, 2025, shall continue with Questions to the Minister for Enterprise, Tourism and Employment: Provided that, notwithstanding the rota adopted by Order of the Dáil of 18th February, 2025, the sequence of allocation to parties and groups of Parliamentary Questions nominated for priority pursuant to Standing Order 50 shall be unaffected.
