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

We cannot have a situation every morning whereby leaders of parties have an opportunity to submit a leader's question. The Chair is here to implement the Standing Orders and as the Chair has pointed out repeatedly in the past, if Deputy Rabbitte wishes to change the Standing Orders, he should set about doing so and the Chair will be happy to implement the new Standing Orders. Standing Order 26 covers the Order of Business and the Chair cannot allow one Deputy to go outside that and insist that other Deputies obey it.
