People Before Profit claim offshore drilling ban plan has been blocked by Government

People Before Profit has claimed the Government has enacted a little-known parliamentary rule to scupper its bill aimed at banning oil and gas drilling in Irish waters.
According to the party's TD Bríd Smith, who is behind the Climate Emergency Measures Bill, Junior Natural Resources Minister Seán Canney and the Ceann Comhairle have agreed the bill requires a so-called 'money message'.
