Rory O'Hanlon (Cavan-Monaghan, Ceann Comhairle)

With regard to the matter raised by Deputy Kenny on the question by Deputy Deasy being turned down by the Office of the Ceann Comhairle, it related to an issue that was the responsibility of the Courts Service. I remind the House that the Houses of the Oireachtas enacted the Courts Service Bill, which made the administration of the Courts Service independent of the Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform. As chairperson, the Chair is obliged to deal with the Standing Order.
