John O'Donoghue (Kerry South, Ceann Comhairle)

Let us be clear that what is in order is business on the Order Paper, the taking of business which has been promised including legislation promised within or outside the Dáil, the making of secondary legislation as I stated yesterday, arrangements for sittings and when Bills or other documents on the Order Paper required in the House will be circulated. I did not frame the Standing Orders but I must implement them. Unfortunately, Deputy Kenny must raise this matter in another way and a number of ways exist in which he can. I will try to facilitate him in doing so but I cannot allow it on the Order of Business.
