Emmet Stagg (Kildare North, Labour)

On the point that is causing the problem, it is not that the Standing Orders are wrong, it is the Ceann Comhairle's inflexible interpretation of Standing Orders. We ask, in a situation where a precedent has been set for a long time, that he is flexible. Then we would not waste Dáil time because I dare say the Tánaiste would answer in approximately five seconds.
