Mattie McGrath (Tipperary South, Independent)

It is time that the Ceann Comhairle was fair to people and reprimanded him. I am not criticising Deputy McConalogue who is doing his best. The Ceann Comhairle is showing a very unfair bias towards that side of the House. Whether he cannot hear or whatever, I do not know, but it is most unnerving when these Deputies are heckling. Deputy Buttimer and Deputy Durkan are past masters at it on a daily basis.
