TDs angry at ministers’ lack of notice

Disgruntled Fine Gael TDs have complained about newly appointed ministers travelling into their constituencies for public events without giving them notice.

Fine Gael is also facing accusations of trying to change Dáil rules after missing a deadline to nominate a Leas Ceann Comhairle.

The nominations deadline for the role of Dáil deputy chairperson has been postponed until next week as Government chief whip Regina Doherty told the Fine Gael parliamentary party meeting last night that a missing email was to blame.
