Electricity (Supply) (Amendment) Bill, 1982: Second and Subsequent Stages.
The Chair would like to explain that, ordinarily, while the Minister is replying he should not be interrupted but, as we may not reach Committee Stage, I presume the Minister will be receptive to ques...
In accordance with the resolution of the Dáil on 6 July I am now putting the question. The question is: “That the Bill be now read a Second Time, that any amendment set down by the Member in charge o...
In accordance with the modified Order Paper, I am calling on the Minister for the Environment to move the motion in connection with the Joint Committee on Building Land.
Joint Committee on Building Land: Message from Seanad.
Seanad Éireann has passed the following Resolution:— 1. That Seanad Éireann concurs with Dáil Éireann in its Resolution communicated to Seanad Éireann on 14 July, 1982, that it is expedient that a Jo...
Social Welfare (No. 2) Bill, 1982: Second Stage.
The proposal is that discussion of the Bill continue after Question Time, that the Second Stage be completed not later than 4.30 p.m. and that all remaining Stages be disposed of not later than 6.30 p...
Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Bovine Disease Eradication.
There was a slight problem in the House which your Whips would appreciate, that because of the fact that agreement had not yet been reached as to what would follow, we wanted to avoid confusion that m...
We are only on Question No. 1, Deputy.
The question is being answered at present and supplementary questions are being taken on it.
If the Chair might explain, the Chair is at the mercy of Deputies and their Whips. If, in deference to an agreement that has been worked out and having regard to the confusion that might be caused by...
Social Welfare (No. 2) Bill, 1982: Committee Stage.
Amendment No. 2b meets Deputy O'Keeffe's amendment No. 3. Amendments Nos. 3a and 4, which are alternatives, are related. It is proposed for discussion to take amendments Nos 2b, 3, 3a and 4 together.
If amendment No. 2b is accepted, amendment No. 3 could not be moved at all.
Yes.
I said that in anticipation of there being an agreement. If there is not agreement, the Deputy is entitled to have his amendments taken in whichever fashion is appropriate to him.
We are taking discussion on amendments Nos. 2b and 3 together.
Adjournment of Dáil: Motion (Resumed).
The Deputy must move the adjournment. Debate adjourned.
Adjournment Debate. - Interference with Garda Authorities.
The Chair understands that Deputy Niall Andrews has been given permission to raise on the Adjournment the question of Deputy Jim Mitchell's interference with the Garda. I understand that Deputy Andre...
You do not have to have notice. I have been taking debates on the Adjournment for some months past. The fact that I am informed that permission has been given is enough for me.
I am calling on Deputy Andrews to proceed.
How do you know that?
Would you keep quiet, please, Deputy Bruton? What is the point of order, Deputy O'Keeffe?
You are completely out of order, Deputy O'Keeffe. It is not in order for you to question the right of the Ceann Comhairle in allowing debate on a question. I am asking you to resume your seat, pleas...
That is not a matter on which I should be asked to adjudicate. I am indicating to you that you are being disorderly in not allowing me to proceed with what has been ordered. Will you kindly resume y...
I advise the Deputy that if he is not raising a point of order, I will be asking him to leave the House forthwith. You are not entitled to raise a point unless it is a point of order. You must give ...
That is not a point of order, and please resume your seat.
What you are raising is not a point of order. I am calling on Deputy Andrews to proceed with his contribution. You have already taken five minutes of Deputy Andrews's time. Deputy Andrews to procee...
I will not allow you to interrupt, and I will not take interruptions from Deputy Bruton either. I will ask you, Deputy O'Keeffe, to leave the House if you persist in interrupting.
You will appreciate that if it is not a point of order I will deal with you in exactly the same fashion as I have indicated I will deal with any other Deputy.
If you are not sure it is a point of order, I would ask you not to raise it or I will be asking you to leave. Deputy Andrews to proceed without interruptions from either side.
The order of the House is that debate should commence at 8.30 p.m. and conclude at 9 o'clock with 20 minutes for you and ten minutes for the Minister to reply.
Excuse me. Deputy O'Keeffe, could I ask you to repeat what you said about the Leas-Cheann Comhairle?
I will take no further interruptions from Deputy O'Keeffe, and I do not repeat myself in matters of this kind.
Deputy Barrett, that is not a point of order. Please do not rise again on such an alleged point of order. Deputy Andrews to proceed without interruption.
Deputy Andrews, earlier I reminded you that you had been given advice that you should confine your contribution to the subject matter of your Private Notice Question in which you sought details of the...
I do not think that the Deputy is entitled to move beyond the one specific case for which permission is given to him.
The Deputy is taking to himself licence which was not granted to him when he was given permission to raise the question.
I must remind the Deputy that his time is up.
I regret that. I had no control over the manner in which the Deputy was deprived of his time.
The Deputy will withdraw that remark. I am not responsible for anything a Deputy will say.
I am not responsible for that.
The Deputy is not permitted to do that, and I will ask Deputy Barrett to withdraw the accusation of partiality that he has made against the Chair.
The Chair was listening very carefully and I assure Deputy Barrett that he has reflected on the Chair. I am asking him to withdraw the remark in question.
That is not my business. The Deputy knows that he is totally out of order. I am calling on the Minister to reply, and I would remind all present that debate should be conducted here with the order t...
Deputy O'Keeffe has been here long enough to know the rules that govern debate on the adjournment, that is, that 20 minutes are allowed for the Member raising the matter and ten minutes are allowed to...
That is a form of magnanimity for which I should not like to create precedent. I will carry out the duties of the Chair as they are and, consequently, I am calling on the Minister to conclude the deb...
