Eamon Gilmore (Dún Laoghaire, Labour)

I ask the Ceann Comhairle to please hear my point of order. There is a motion of confidence which challenges that the Government has a majority in the House. We do not know if Government backbenchers, who have been distancing themselves from the Taoiseach for some time, are willing to come in and vote support in him. We do not know if the Green Party will vote support in him.
