TDs Get Longer Working Hours

The Dáil is to sit for an extra five hours a week from next month as part of a raft of reforms just announced by the Government.

Most of the reforms go ahead from now, but some – like giving opposition parties more power on committees – will only proceed if the Seanad is scrapped in the referendum.

Among the changes are sitting earlier in the day, longer blocks for dealing with legislation, and also an annual ‘Queen’s speech’ type event by the Taoiseach and Ministers.
