Public Business. - Game Preservation Bill, 1929—Second Stage (Resumed).
took the Chair.
In Committee on Finance. - Estimates for Public Services. Vote 62—Posts and Telegraphs (Resumed).
Now, now.
The Deputy has not a right to reply.
He has not. Amendment put. The Committee divided: Ta, 62; Níl, 66. Tá
Agreed?
The practice has been when a Deputy puts down an amendment that the estimate and the amendment would be discussed together, and when the Minister or the Parliamentary Secretary responsible for it has ...
I am afraid the Deputy is confusing the procedure on a motion as distinct from an amendment. That is the Deputy's trouble. I have stated the practice in the House has been that the Vote should be pu...
Is the Deputy putting a point of order?
Deputies who desired to speak on this matter got full scope and they took advantage of it. The Parliamentary Secretary was not called upon to reply to the debate until each Deputy who desired to spea...
The position under the Standing Orders is that a Deputy may speak more than once in Committee. The practice has been that the amendment and the motion are discussed together. If the Deputy insists as...
This practice was allowed to grow up by the House itself, because the House felt that under that particular practice they could do their work better. This practice was built up and allowed to grow by ...
That is the position under the Standing Orders.

In Committee on Finance. - Vote No. 31—Office of the Minister for Justice.
took the Chair.

Let me inform the Deputy that the rules of order for this House are not laid down by the President. The Deputy knows that just as well as any member of the House. If the Deputy felt he was aggrieved...
Quite, but the Deputy proceeded to comment upon certain things before I had an opportunity of saying what I intended to say. I agree with the Deputy that it is one thing for the President to say a st...
Certainly.
It has been the practice here that when a member of the House is accused of anything, or when a statement is made concerning a member of the House and the person against whom that statement is made re...
The Deputy ought not quibble in that way with the Chair. Deputy Flinn knows quite well what I mean. The President denied that the Deputy's statement was true and Deputy Flinn knows that.
It would be better if the Deputy were allowed to make his speech and then the Minister could deal with various matters afterwards.
What does the Deputy mean by “his own officials refusing information?” Will the Deputy explain what he means by that?
The Deputy has been referring to the Minister's own court and to the Minister's own judges, and the Minister's own officials. Does not the Deputy know that is not a proper way in which to describe th...
To whom is the Deputy referring?
Does the Deputy think that calling any member of this House a distraught fool is a correct thing to do?
I think the Deputy should withdraw it.
took the Chair.
Adjournment Debate. - Leitrim County Council's Finances.
The Deputy should allow the Minister to conclude.
