John O'Donoghue (Kerry South, Ceann Comhairle)

All I can say to Deputy Gilmore is that no further questions were allowed. His party members were involved in this matter for one hour and 20 minutes and all the Chair can do is facilitate the Members by allowing the question. The Chair did so and allowed several Private Notice questions. The debate took much longer than is normal in these circumstances because I continued to allow Members ask questions. There was a considerable amount of repetition and I regret that Deputy Gilmore is aggrieved. That is all I can say.
