Tipperary North / North-West Kilkenny TD, Michael Lowry
Following intensive discussions last night and today with the Ceann Comhairle, Taoiseach and Tánaiste, the Regional Group has decided that, 'in the interest of not having a repetition of yesterday’s appalling and outrageous scenes in the Dáil, the Group will cooperate with today’s Order of Business'.
That's according to Tipperary North / North-West Kilkenny TD, Michael Lowry, who described yesterday’s scenes as 'a shameful display of obstruction which denied the people a democratic right to have a Government'.
"The Regional Group has agreed to this temporary measure to facilitate the election of Taoiseach and members of the Government," he stated.

"The committee’s composition will reflect the proportional representation in this Dáil.
"The aim is to have a decision before the Dáil reconvenes on February 5."
