Coalition under fire for ‘shameful’ Dáil break
Fine Gael, Labour and the Greens are furious that debate on crucial pieces of legislation, such as the Garda Síochána Bill and the Disability Bill, has been guillotined - or cut short - by the Government so as to squeeze them through before the summer recess.
They argue the Government could easily have extended the Dáil term and allowed for fuller debate.
