Irish Taoiseach calls for equal speaking time reforms in parliament after a chaotic session.

Irish Taoiseach Micheál Martin has called for changes to the Dáil's standing orders to ensure all TDs get equal speaking time, following a ruling that denied speaking rights to four independent TDs. The move came after a chaotic Dáil session where opposition TDs sought more speaking time, leading to the session's suspension. Martin's request aims to reflect the evolving nature of Irish democracy, though Labour leader Ivana Bacik warns against reopening debate on speaking rights.
