Séamus Kirk (Louth, Ceann Comhairle)

Under Standing Order 26 I cannot allow a full-scale debate on the issues the Deputy wishes to debate. I do not mind. There are other ways to do it but the Deputy will have to find the other ways and not use the Order of Business. The Deputy must realise that. The control of the House is dominated and dictated by the Standing Orders set out and agreed by the Committee on Procedure and Privileges. I cannot change that.
