Galway Bay fm newsroom – A Galway West TD has demanded to know why the Minister for Rural and Community Development has failed to take questions in the Dáil.
Deputy Éamon Ó Cuív said that despite being appointed to the position six months ago, Minister Michael Ring has so far not been rostered to speak.
Speaking in the Dáil, the Fianna Fail deputy described the situation as ‘peculiar’ and ‘unprecedented’ in his time as a TD.
He claimed the Minister has serious questions to answer regarding the spending of funding allocated to his department.
Deputy Ó Cuív asked Leo Varadkar if Minister Ring had done something to end up in the Fine Gael ‘sin bin’.
While Mr Varadkar denied it was anything to do with him or a ‘sin bin’, Chief Whip and Junior Minister Joe McHugh said Minister Ring would appear in the coming weeks.
