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

I checked the term in the Oxford Dictionary of the Ulster dialect and I discovered it means a working community in County Donegal. I am not sure whether it applies to County Mayo.

On behalf of the Leas-Cheann Comhairle and myself, I thank the Members for their co-operation. It has been a very busy year, both for the parliamentarians and the staff of the House. Apart from the business conducted in this Chamber, there have been over 525 committee meetings and by tomorrow evening, there will have been more than 43,000 parliamentary questions processed. This is a record for the House and is 5,000 more than in the past. I am glad to say that only 3.78% of questions have been disallowed, which is the smallest number in the past ten years.
