Michael Ring (Mayo, Fine Gael)

I will leave the House. The Ceann Comhairle already named a Member of this House today three times and did not ask that Member to leave the House. He did not quote to me the Standing Order he used in respect of the imposition of the Leas-Cheann Comhairle. I will leave this House under protest on the basis that if the Ceann Comhairle continues in the way in which he has been continuing, there will be a vote of no confidence in him quicker than he knows. I am leaving the House under protest. I did nothing wrong and was treated unfairly in this House today.
