John O'Donoghue (Kerry South, Ceann Comhairle)

It is not in order for the Deputy to do that in accordance with the order of the House today. We cannot have a debate on it because that has already been agreed to. What I will allow, in accordance with Standing Orders, is a brief debate on Deputy Howlin's elevation to the position of Leas-Cheann Comhairle. That is the best I can do in accordance with the rules of the House. That I will allow. That is as fair as I can possibly be.
