Enda Kenny (Mayo, Fine Gael)

I am interested in the basis for the Ceann Comhairle's ruling today that it is not in order to ask questions about matters of legitimate public interest concerning Supplementary Estimates for Departments. The nation is consumed by the mismanagement of this Fianna Fáil-led Government which must now find €500 million through savings, adjustments, cutbacks or whatever one wishes to call them. It is a matter of legitimate political interest to inquire as to which Departments will have to produce Supplementary Estimates. I am interested in the basis of the Ceann Comhairle's ruling that it is not in order to ask a question about this. To which Standing Order does he refer?
