Simon Coveney (Cork South Central, Fine Gael)

On a point of order, it is a long-standing precedent in the House that when a Member misleads the Dáil, whether deliberately or not, he or she is given the next available opportunity to correct the record. I understand it is a judgment call for the Ceann Comhairle. I ask the Ceann Comhairle now to give the Minister of State, Deputy Hoctor, an opportunity to correct the record on what she said last Thursday.
