Dáil Éireann

Dáil resumes - before taking another break

THE DÁIL RECONVENED this afternoon for the new Taoiseach Enda Kenny to announce his cabinet. However, Fine Geal’s party whip Paul Kehoe immediately appealed for a further 30 minute recess which has been granted by the Ceann Comhairle. Micheál Martin asked for additional time to be added to the scheduled debate time as a consquence and was told that the 125 minutes allocated to the debate would be safeguarded. The Dáil has been adjourned until 5.18pm.
