Hear, hear.
A Cheann Comhairle, could you put a date on it, please-----
-----in order that people might know? Just put a date on it, expeditiously. I cannot find it in my calendar.
There is no expeditiousness at all, a Cheann Comhairle. Could you just put a date on it? It is relatively simple. It should not be a big ask, a Cheann Comhairle. Can you put a date on it, please?
Why not share the advice now?
You are designing the process.
What is the process?
A Cheann Comhairle, you cannot allow this to continue. This must not be allowed. It is a farce.
You have been a Deputy, a Cheann Comhairle, and you know this is utterly ridiculous.
To hold a vote at this stage would be a disgrace.
A Cheann Comhairle, we cannot have a vote now.
We will not resume our seats until you confirm you will deal with the issue. This is a farce.
A point of order has been raised. Will the Ceann Comhairle deal with that please? A suggestion has been made. A proposal has been put through an amendment-----
This will not be allowed.
This will not be facilitated.
You put the right woman in the job, all right.
The Leader of the Opposition is on her feet. She has a democratic mandate and that should be respected. This is an utter disgrace.
