When I joined the committee and we all agreed to Standing Order 218, it was not just that we would not identify people but that we would set out the terms of every session and try to stick to them as best as possible.

I have no idea what that discussion was about and, therefore, I cannot contribute in any meaningful way to a session that concerns itself with that issue. There is enough in the accounts we are looking at today to be dealing with in a two-hour session, unless we believe €8.2 million in public funds is not worthy of a discussion, which I believe it is. I have to say grandstanding, showboating, not allowing witnesses to speak and shouting women down is unhelpful to this session.
