In accordance with Standing Order 35, I must now call on the Chief Whip-----

Sentiment score: 0.00

I thank the Deputy. In response, I would say that Standing Order 35 has been amended and has to be implemented. On that basis, I have a strict obligation to apply the rules. Deputy, please, I ask you to resume your seat until I have finished what I have to say.

I have a strict obligation to apply the rules. I understand it is disputed. I understand but you have set down your remedy for this afternoon. Could you co-operate so we can get the Order of Business carried out? You have your remedy later this afternoon to work on.

With regard to acting as Ceann Comhairle, you have. I would say to the Deputy that Standing Order 35 has been amended. I am going to ask the Chief Whip to move the Order of Business.

I am sorry, Deputy. It is your assessment that you disagree with the note. I am putting the Order of Business to the Chief Whip to move.

Now we have the situation where we implement the amendment to Standing Order 35, which is that either the Whip or deputy Whip of each party has 30 seconds.

Deputy, your protest-----

Sentiment score: 0.00

Could the Deputy let me speak?

Sentiment score: 0.00

I ask the Deputy to resume his seat and let me speak.

Sentiment score: 0.00

The issue for the Deputy to object on is now; he may partake now and oppose the Order of Business. That is the process. The Deputy is perfectly entitled. I have put the question. Does he wish to take his 30 seconds? If not, I will move on to the Labour Party Whip. It is up to the Deputy. He has 30 seconds.
