Seán Barrett (Dún Laoghaire, Ceann Comhairle)

It was open to the Government to come to the House to order this business, this topic, and give a proper report. The other side of the House is now asking whether the Taoiseach's remarks are in order. I try to be fair to both sides. If this issue is so important, it should have been on the Order of Business today as an item. A report could have been given for 20 minutes.
