Ceisteanna — Questions Oral Answers. - UK TV Reception in Rural Areas.
The Deputy cannot make a statement.
The Deputy is making a speech.
A question, Deputy. The Deputy is making a speech.
A question, Deputy.
Ceisteanna — Questions Oral Answers. - Airport Capital Expenditure.
I am ruling the Deputy out. He is obviously out of order.
This began as a simple little statistical question but it has blossomed forth into a debate——
Ceisteanna — Questions Oral Answers. - Direct Satellite Broadcasting.
We are now moving to questions listed for priority.
Not here.
I am not prepared to discuss my rulings here.
You can come to my office and I will discuss it there.
I proceeded as my predecessors have for many years.
Ceisteanna — Questions Oral Answers. - European Court Decision on Air Travel.
We cannot debate it here.
Question Time was never meant for long speeches.
That may be, but it is establishing a very undesirable precedent.
Private Notice Question. - Agricultural Officers Dispute.
I am calling on Deputy Hugh Byrne.
All right.
Order of Business.
Are the arrangements for today's business agreed? Agreed?
You will have to raise this in some other way.
The Deputy is out of order.
I am ruling it out of order. (Interruptions.)
I will do my best to facilitate the Deputy when he is in order but I cannot allow him to continue in this way.
I will communicate with the Deputy.
And the Ceann Comhairle ruled it out of order.
The Deputy cannot raise it in this manner.
The Deputy is now questioning the Chair's ruling in a disorderly way and I must ask him not to continue ——
The Chair has ruled the matter out of order.
I will allow that question to be answered.
The Deputy should ask a question.
As far as I know, there is no promise to amend the legislation.
I cannot allow this matter to be raised in this way. I wish to remind Deputies that the Finance Bill has only a limited time available to it.
That does not arise on the Order of Business. The Deputy should obey the Chair.
That was not promised as far as I know and it is not in order to raise it. (Interruptions.)
The Deputy should read Standing Orders.
The matter cannot be raised in this way.
Deputy Leyden will resume his seat. (Interruptions.)
If Deputy Leyden does not resume his seat the Chair has certain powers. (Interruptions.)
I am ordering you to resume your seat.
I will communicate with the Deputy.
I order the Deputy to resume his seat and to remain seated.
I have ruled it out of order. I will give the Deputy one more chance and if he intervenes again I will order him to leave the House. (Interruptions.)
The Deputy knows perfectly well that he is out of order.
I will not allow the same latitude to Deputy Kirk that I gave to other Deputies because he knows he is out of order.
If the Deputy does not resume his seat I will order him to leave the House. Deputy Kirk will leave the House now. I have ordered him to leave the House. (Interruptions.)
On that occasion there was complete disorder. I ask the Taoiseach to name Deputy Kirk and to move his suspension.
I take it that Deputy Kirk has left the House for the day in accordance with the wishes of the Chair.
I will communicate with the Deputy.
Finance Bill, 1986: Report Stage.
All amendments must be concluded at 6.15 p.m.
Amendment No. 8a in the name of the Minister. Amendment No. 9 is related. Amendments Nos. 8a and 9 may be taken together by agreement. Lest there be any misunderstanding, each speaker may speak only...
As it is now 6.15 p.m. I must put the following questions: “That the amendments set down by the Minister for Finance, including any requiring recommital and not disposed of, are hereby made to the Bi...
Finance Bill, 1986: Fifth Stage.
This Bill is a certified Money Bill in accordance with Article 22 of the Constitution.
Private Members' Business. - Crime, Lawlessness and Vandalism: Motion.
Deputy Lyons has until 7.40 p.m.
Private Members' Business. - Companies (Amendment) Bill, 1985: Report Stage.
Perhaps you could mention them on the next Stage. Bill received for final consideration.
Private Members' Business. - Companies (Amendment) Bill, 1985: Fifth Stage.
As the Minister may be aware, he is confined to what is in the Bill and not what might have been put into it, or could not have been put into it. He must speak about what is in the Bill only.
This is a practice in the United States, but I do not think we have it here.
If the Minister wants to put it on the record, he will have to read it into the record.
You could do that, but it would not appear on the record.
Stick to Irish Standing Orders.
That would be in order.
The Deputy may not cut in with speeches every now and again.
We are not on Committee Stage.
