Ban boring speeches, says TD
Ahead of the return of TDs to Leinster House for the autumn session, Fine Gael justice spokesman John Deasy said debates in the Dáil were irrelevant to real life and badly in need of reform.
The first step in reforming Dáil procedures should be a ruling only the Taoiseach and party leaders be allowed to use pre-prepared scripts and the rest only use prompt notes, he said.
