North West accuses the government of cutting Dáil time to avoid scrutiny ahead of the Presidential vote.

 A Donegal TD is accusing the Government of blocking accountability by cutting Dáil time in half this week. Sinn Féin Chief Whip Pádraig Mac Lochlainn says removing the usual time for votes on Wednesday is an attempt to silence the opposition and avoid scrutiny ahead of the Presidential vote on Friday. Deputy Mac Lochlainn described it as the latest move from a government that is utterly allergic to scrutiny and accountability.
