Deputy, out of respect------

Sorry, Deputy, while you may not have respect for me-----

Deputy, resume your seat.

You are making-----

For the public watching, you are making a holy-----

One of your colleagues mentioned misogyny.

Misogyny is what was mentioned earlier.

It is an absolute disgrace. You are making a holy show of yourselves for the world to see.

It is very clear you have no respect for the Chair-----

-----none whatsoever. On one hand-----

You will be aware that the public are watching. On one hand, you want this-----

On one hand, you wish the Government to have respect for the Ceann Comhairle's ruling while you yourselves are seemingly incapable-----

-----of accepting.

Deputies, I will not be-----

I am going to remain standing until each and every one of you resume your seats.

We are moving on. That is the end of Leaders' Questions and we now move to the vote. In accordance with Standing Order 35, I now call on the Chief Whip, Deputy Mary Butler, to move that the arrangements for the week's business be agreed to.

Resume your seats. You are farcical. This is absolutely farcical.

You can all stand up. This is farcical.

Is this week's business agreed to?

The Order of Business has been agreed. I adjourn the House.

Given the disorder in the House and as Questions on Policy or Legislation are at my discretion under Standing Orders, I propose to move directly to the motion on amendments to Standing Orders.

I call on Deputy McDonald to move the amendment.

The taking of the division has been obstructed. The tellers of one side have, without good reason, refused to sign the teller sheet. Accordingly, pursuant to Standing Order 91, I hereby declare the question is carried.

Deputies should please resume their seats.

I ask Deputies to resume their seats.
