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

Standing Order 33 states: "Questions addressed to a member of the Government must relate to public affairs connected with his or her Department, or to matters of administration for which he or she is officially responsible (including bodies under the aegis of his or her Department in respect of Government policy)." It is clear and specific. The Chair may at times have allowed the Deputy to go beyond that, but the Chair must apply the Standing Order.
