The recent changes to speaking time regulations in the Dáil have incited notable discontent among TDs, particularly from Fianna Fáil. Amid accusations of unfairness, concerns arose about the allocation of speaking time, with Fianna Fáil TDs feeling disenfranchised due to a larger number of elected representatives. This has led to frustration, with some members expressing feelings of being manipulated or undermined. Overall, the government's amendments are causing unrest as not all members feel adequately represented or granted fair speaking opportunities.
Some TDs were "livid" over the volume of time being allocated, feeling they were treated as "pawns" while publically supporting the new amendments.
Fianna Fáil's share of speaking time will be split among a greater number of TDs compared to Fine Gael and Independents, leading to individual frustration.
