Landlord and Tenant (Ground Rents) (No. 2) Bill, 1977: Committee Stage (Resumed).
Amendment No. 40a was discussed with amendment No. 40 which has already been disposed of. The Minister will move the amendment and there will be no further debate. SECTION 23.
We cannot have a debate. We have already discussed it and it was disposed of with amendment No. 40. We must decide without debate.
Amendment No. 41 in the name of Deputy O'Keeffe.
Amendment No. 41 was discussed with amendment No. 40. They were related. Amendment No. 40 was defeated and amendment No. 41 should automatically fall with amendment No. 40. Amendment No. 41 not move...
Is the amendment withdrawn?
Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Meeting with British Prime Minister.
This is a separate question.
This is being extended to a discussion.
However important it is we cannot get away from the fact that this is Question Time——
The Deputy should not be threatening the Chair.
Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Courts Accommodation.
We have already had a number of questions on this matter.
One short question.
Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Dublin Garda Posts.
Question No. 4. I have warned several times against questions which have implications and innuendos and are actually speeches.
Question No. 4.
Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - County Donegal Armed Robbery.
This is not a question. You are making a speech.
This is information.
The Deputy should ask a question.
It is inconsistent with Standing Orders to make a speech at Question Time.
Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Ardmore (Waterford) Garda Strength.
Provided it is a question.
The question refers to Ardmore. It is a local question. (Interruptions.)
Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Age of Criminal Responsibility.
The Deputy is giving information instead of seeking it.
Order.
I am calling Question No. 8.
Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Adoption Societies.
Will the Deputy please resume his seat? I am calling Question No. 9.
Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Kerry Garda Strength.
I am calling Question No. 10.
Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Terrorist Incidents List.
The Deputy is enlarging the question. I am calling the next question.
Question No. 13.
We have had enough discussion on this question. We are tending to enlarge the question.
I have decided that we have had enough questions. I am calling Question No. 13.
That is a separate question.
Anything will arise if we go on long enough.
Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Cross-Border Measures.
This is a separate question.
It is not a question. The Deputy is making a speech. He can have other opportunities to raise this matter.
I am waiting a long time for a question.
The Deputy could ask that question without making a speech.
The Deputy should ask a question.
The Deputy will please resume his seat. I am allowing Deputy Quinn to ask a supplementary question.
I am calling for a little respect from the House.
This seems to be the same question repeated.
The Chair will not comment.
I am calling the next question.
Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - UK Prevention of Terrorism Act.
Question No. 16.
We are getting into argument and it will not be tolerated. I am calling Question No. 16, which will be the last question today.
No.
That is a separate question. I am calling Question No. 16.
The Deputy may put down a question.
Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - World Golf Competition.
I have allowed the Deputy considerable scope but I would ask him now please to cease making speeches.
It is not the wish of the Chair that Question Time should become totally out of hand.
The remaining questions will appear on tomorrow's Order Paper.
Rates on Agricultural Land (Relief) Bill, 1978: Committee Stage (Resumed).
I do not see anything about national wage agreements in the Bill. The Chair is bound to bring to the notice of Deputies that we seem to have a Second Stage debate now. This is Committee Stage.
There is an amendment to the section which cannot be accepted on the ground that it was received at unduly short notice.
The Deputy may speak on the section. Question proposed: “That section 2 stand part of the Bill.”
The Deputy will appreciate that there is nothing in this section except the Short Title, Collective Citation and——
If and when the amendment comes up on Report Stage the Deputy will have an opportunity but he may not discuss it now.
We will take it that the Deputy has raised the matter.
This is becoming a general debate.
I allowed the Deputy to make a passing reference but this seems to have become an interminable passing reference.
Yes, but not in order.
They would be more appropriate to the Fifth Stage.
Safety in Industry Bill, 1978: Second Stage (Resumed).
Deputy Michael O'Leary was in possession.
This is a courtesy the House can extend.
The Deputy in possession need not necessarily be here. Any other Deputy may offer.
