Deputies, please. The Taoiseach is speaking. Did Deputies not notice? A question was asked.

He is. The Deputy might not-----

Deputies, I am standing. I expect that you will respect the Chair. We are in a democratic House. This is Leaders' Questions.

Deputies, whether you like what is being said or not, please listen. That is the process.

We have a lot of visitors in the Gallery. The public are watching. I am asking you all to have respect for one another, one and all. That is all I am asking for on behalf of those who are watching.

Deputies, while you may not have respect for me, I am the Chair. When I speak, nobody else speaks.
Sentiment score: -0.19
Deputies, I am asking that you respect the process and the operation of the House.
Sentiment score: 0.48
That means that when I speak, I ask you to have respect for the Chair. That decision has been made and it is well gone. We are in the democratic process of where we are on a different matter today. I ask Deputy McDonald to respond.

Deputies, resume your seats when the Ceann Comhairle is standing. We have spent hours. I have invested as much as 20 hours over the past months trying to come to a consensus and an agreement.
Sentiment score: 0.16
Unfortunately, we have reached an impasse.
Sentiment score: -0.25
I expect respect, Deputy, so that I can finish what I am saying.
Sentiment score: 0.48
Excuse me, Deputy, I am speaking. We have reached an impasse and when we reach an impasse, we then move to the mechanism that moves all those democratically elected from the impasse, which is the voting mechanism. We are now-----

The Deputy should resume his seat.

Deputy Doherty should resume his seat. He knows the rulings of the House.
Sentiment score: 0.00
Is it the case that Deputy Doherty does not have respect for me or the Chair? Now it is becoming apparent that-----
Sentiment score: -0.19
I ask Deputy Doherty to respect the Chair. It is not me; I am not concerned. However, I am the Ceann Comhairle and I am sitting in the Chair and I expect a level of respect to come from each and every Member-----
Sentiment score: 0.32
-----when I speak. The level of disruption to which we can go today is well documented. We are either going to continue with Leaders' Questions or we can move on. Deputies may not like the answers they are getting but I cannot give instructions on answers.
Sentiment score: -0.06
My function is to chair this Dáil and ensure that the House operates.

Deputy. The Taoiseach has ten seconds left.
Sentiment score: 0.00
I do not expect-----
Sentiment score: 0.00
-----that the democratic process operates like this-----
Sentiment score: 0.36
-----and I do not think the public do either. Could you please allow it to continue?
Sentiment score: 0.25
Taoiseach, you have ten seconds or we can move on.

I have asked you to sit. I am speaking, Deputy.

Excuse me, Deputy.

-----here today now that nobody is interested in hearing answers.
Sentiment score: 0.40
Afford him the respect to at least have the answer listened to.
Sentiment score: 0.48
It is using up Deputy O'Callaghan's time. Does the Deputy wish to make his minute heard? His Opposition colleagues clearly do not.
Sentiment score: 0.27
Please, Deputies.
Sentiment score: 0.32
The Deputy deserves an answer.

Sit down, Deputy. You are making a show of yourself; sit down. I thank the Taoiseach, his time is up. I call Deputy Collins.

The fundamental issue here is the lack of respect for the Chair. The salient ruling-----

You will be aware that the public are watching. On one hand, you want this-----
Sentiment score: 0.27
On one hand, you wish the Government to have respect for the Ceann Comhairle's ruling while you yourselves are seemingly incapable-----
