John McGuinness

Resume your seat, Deputy.

I call for some order.

Resume your seat, Deputy. We can do this and have a shouting match and nobody will hear anybody. I ask the Members here to please respect the Chair and respect each other. If they continue to shout across each other, we will not get any business done. They should use their time wisely.

Minister, please-----

He was and he will speak here in an orderly fashion. I ask him please not to raise his voice across the Chamber. He is just wasting time.

Conclude Deputy, please.

I am sorry, Deputy. You have asked your question. I ask the Taoiseach to please conclude the answer.

Resume your seat, Deputy.

That concludes that question.

I thank-----

I thank the Taoiseach.

The Taoiseach has made the point and the question is answered. Let us move on.

Deputy Gould.

Allow the Taoiseach to answer.

Deputy Kelly, please.

Thank you, Taoiseach.

We are over time so I ask each of the remaining Deputies, with the agreement of the House, to ask their questions quickly and then there will be a single answer from the Taoiseach.

The next batch of questions-----

Will the Taoiseach-----

I call Deputy Naoise Ó Cearúil.

Yes, but I wanted to-----

That is interesting. To get the Taoiseach's attention, I just call another Deputy, and he very quickly got back.

I thank Deputy Ward. I will just say that some of the remarks he made are not acceptable.

No. The Deputy knows the point I am making. I ask him to take note of it. I am saying it because I want to put it on the record that he was wrong to do what he did. I call Deputy Farrelly.

Is that agreed? Agreed.
