Government under fire as over 240 bills in limbo

The Taoiseach and his Government have been accused of deliberately allowing bills pass in the hope of “killing them off” later on to avoid losing Dáil votes.

More than 240 bills have been allowed pass through the Dáil but are yet to progress, and the Government is engaging in a “tactical abuse of power” by blocking new opposition laws that are now clogging up the legislative system.

As revealed today by the Irish Examiner, there are now 242 bills snaking their way through the Oireachtas with Leo Varadkar being blamed for “trying to control the opposition” by using any means available.
