Deputy O'Flynn should not shake his head. He should dog-whistle somewhere else. He knows what he was doing.
It has to be legally enforceable, though.
There is a bit to it. The Deputy cannot oppose something in its entirety. There is a lot to it. We can talk about the beef element but come on.
That is not accurate at all.
That is nonsense.
It was in our manifesto. The Deputy said that it was not anywhere.
Our manifesto says "remove". Instead of the word "deceit"-----
Hear, hear.
That is not a point of order and the Deputy knows that. That is not a point of order.
It is not a point of order though.
The Deputy does not have a point of order for the House.
The Deputy has Google.
Where is the point of order?
Where is the point of order? The Deputy had his chance to speak.
The Deputy is abusing the rules of the House.
The Deputy does not care about the rules of the House. He has no civility.
That is not a point of order. The Deputy is not in L&H. This is not a debating chamber. This is the Dáil.
That is not a point of order.
The Deputy is in breach of the rules of the House, as ever.
The Deputy does not care about the rules.
