Opposition parties have reacted angrily to the Government's plan to wait to recall the Dáil.

The house has been in recess since the end of July, but the growing number of Covid-19 cases, the lockdown of the Midlands, and finally last week's Golfgate controversy forced the Government to seek a recall two weeks earlier than planned.
