Irish government proposes changes to speaking rights in parliament, sparking a clash with opposition parties.

The dispute over speaking rights in Ireland's parliament, the Dáil, continues as the government proposes changes to grant speaking time to independent TDs, including Michael Lowry's group. Opposition parties argue these changes would undermine their ability to question the government and hold it accountable. Taoiseach Micheál Martin has vowed that the government will not be "railroaded" by the opposition, setting up a potential clash at the Dáil Reform Committee meeting.
