      Who would have guessed our new ceann comhairle would decide to give her buddies more speaking time, they really are making a mockery of our democracy.

      Taking time from the speaking time of actual oppositionTDs shows truly how healthy our “democracy” is

      Can’t honestly say I’ve ever thought about it but by comparison, in the UK they let anyone ask questions at PMQs. Government MPs and Opposition too. Kinda weird here local tds can’t bring up local issues (which is usually what happens in the UK) because their party is in government.

      “The Government” by definition is only the ministers. Anyway, just a thought.

      This is the rope that they’ll hang themselves with. They won’t be able to use that time praising the government, their voters would never elect them again. So they’ll use it to challenge the government on issues. Painting themselves into a corner when it comes time to vote with the government. How stable a government can we expect with that sort of arrangement?

      Paul Murphy right again about how much of a pisstake this is, they want to be in government, junior whips for the government, while also opposing the government.

      Out of curiosity, when FF entered the supply and confidence agreement with FG back in 2016, did they put themselves as opposition with more speaking time? Genuinely can’t remember and can’t find anything online
