Richard Bruton (Dublin North Central, Fine Gael)

I wish to protest. This is a shambles. We are debating whether the Dáil is fit for purpose and discussing legislation on how it should be funded. This amendment relates to a matter in respect of which there is a genuine difference of opinion and the Ceann Comhairle is using an order of the day in order to prevent the House making a mature judgment on it.
