John O'Donoghue (Kerry South, Ceann Comhairle)

Excuse me, please. A proposal by the Taoiseach on how the items of business are to be taken, as the Deputy is probably aware, is a highly technical motion of narrow scope and the merits or demerits of the issue do not arise at this stage. Deputy Burton has been allowed a considerable amount of latitude and I ask the Taoiseach to reply.
