Tá brón orm. I thought I would get out of the note on privilege. I will read it out as Gaeilge in future. I will get clarification on that because I do not think anybody is listening to it as Béarla. Maybe if I read it out in Irish, more people would listen to it.

Members are reminded of the long-standing parliamentary practice to the effect that they should not comment on, criticise or make charges against a person outside of the Houses or an official either by name or in such a way as to make him or her identifiable. I would like to remind members of the constitutional requirements that members must be physically present within the confines of the Leinster House complex in order to participate in meetings. I will not permit a member to participate where they are not adhering to this constitutional requirement. Therefore, any members who attempt to participate from outside the precinct will be asked to leave the meeting. In this regard, I would ask that any member partaking by Microsoft Teams, prior to making their contribution to the meeting, to confirm they are on the grounds of the Leinster House campus.
