Emmet Stagg (Kildare North, Labour)

Is it not in accordance with the rules of the House for a Deputy to rise when a Minister or any other Member is speaking and ask that person to give way without being abused by the Minister for doing so? The Minister or any other Member is required to say "Yes" or "No" to the question. That is the question we have asked and it should not represent an opportunity to abuse other Deputies who correctly asked the Minister a question.
