I will communicate with the Deputy.
That is not in order now, Deputy. (Interruptions.)
The Deputy should find another way to raise that matter. Can I proceed——

Message to be sent to Seanad Éireann acquainting it with this decision accordingly.
Intoxicating Liquor Bill, 1988: From the Seanad.
As often as the Deputy wishes.
Will the House please come to order as it is not possible to hear what is being said in the Chamber.
The Deputy is completely out of order. He is not adverting to the matter before the House and he has reflected on an occupant of the Chair. This is not good enough. I must ask the Deputy to apply h...
That is so.
The Deputy is deviating from the subject matter again.
Let us get down to dealing with the amendments.
I say again let us deal with amendment No. 1.
Let us get down to dealing with the business before us.
The Order of Business was decided upon — unanimously, I would remind Members — a very short time ago. Let us now deal with amendment No. 1.
Will the Minister formally move the amendment?
Let us hear the Minister.
Let us not stray from the Intoxicating Liquor Bill before us.
Let us hear the Minister out. Deputies may intervene at a later stage. Interruptions are not in order.
May I intervene here to say that I would prefer if no reference were made to officials or parliamentary draftsman as such. The Minister is responsible. Personalities outside should not be referred t...
Please, Deputy Barrett, you are straying very far from the amendment under consideration.
References to officials ought not to be made.
As it is now 12 noon, I am required to put the following question in accordance with an order of the Dáil of this date: “That Seanad amendments undisposed of are hereby agreed to in Committee, that th...

Táimid ag dul ar aghaidh go dtí Ceist a Dó. (Cur isteach.)

This cannot go on.
The Chair does his best.

Question No. 5. I should like to draw the attention of the House to the fact that I have been able to deal with only four questions in half an hour. If that is the way Deputies want to proceed, fair ...

Private Members' Business. - Fisheries (Amendment) Bill: First Stage.
Deputy McCoy moved yesterday that leave be given to introduce this Bill and the motion was opposed. In accordance with Standing Order 92 (4) the debate was adjourned until now in Private Members' Tim...
Yes, I do.
I have gone into the matter and I am quite satisfied.
I am proposing to do as I have stated and I am quite satisfied with that procedure.
I assure the Deputy and the House that I am well fortified by precedents in this matter.
I am not prepared to argue the matter now, Deputy. I am quite happy about it.
If the Deputy seriously wishes to challenge my ruling, there is a procedure laid down. He may not do so now.
I am well aware of the wording of that rule.
I am calling on Deputy McCoy to speak for five minutes.
I repeat my satisfaction in respect to the procedure that I am now adopting.
My office will be glad to facilitate the Deputy.
I am calling Deputy McCoy to proceed to move his motion. The Deputy has five minutes.
We have a situation again where a Deputy remains seated when called upon.
The Chair will give no explanation of his ruling; he does not have to.
The Deputy may not challenge the ruling of the Chair. As I have said, if he wants to——
The Chair is demonstrating its fairness in this matter.
That is so.
No, I am not going to be challenged on my ruling.
I am proceeding with the business now. I am asking Deputy McCoy to proceed.
It is not, by any means.
I call Deputy McCoy.
I am quite happy about my interpretation.
I call Deputy McCoy.
I call Deputy McCoy again. I am asking him again to proceed. If the Deputy does not proceed with his motion now, I shall have to call another speaker.
That is not my function. I call Deputy McCoy.
I am calling Deputy Doyle.
The Deputy has already made that point.
I am completely satisfied in regard to my action in the matter. I have discretion in this matter and I exercised it.
I gave my decision independently of Whips or anybody else.
Not now. My office will be glad to facilitate the Deputy. I will see to it that you are so informed.
I am calling item No. 27, Private Members' motion on the subject of extradition.
Private Members' Business. - District Court Extradition Procedures: Motion (Resumed).
Deputy Brian Swift was in possession. The Deputy has 21 minutes.
Is that agreed? Agreed.
Perhaps the Deputy should be allowed to make his address without interruption.

In respect of the revised Estimates for the Education group, a division was challenged on Friday last. In accordance with the Order of the House I now put the question: “That Votes 27, 28, 29 and 30...

Let us hear the Minister without interruption.
I am sorry to interrupt the Deputy. I have given a lot of latitude on this Final Stage of the Bill, but the speeches we are hearing are more appropriate to Second Stage. Speeches at this Stage shoul...
Adjournment Debate. - Gaelscoil Míde (Dublin).
Deputy McCartan gave me notice of his intention to raise on the Adjournment the subject of accommodation at Gaelscoil Míde, Baldoyle, County Dublin.
