John O'Donoghue (Kerry South, Ceann Comhairle)

I should remind Members that people outside the House may not be the subject of either blame or praise in the House. This is a long-standing precedent and in the case of former Deputy Parlon I allowed the questions because it was in the public domain prior to this and no impropriety was being suggested on the part of former Deputy Parlon.
