Richard Boyd Barrett (Dún Laoghaire, People Before Profit Alliance)

I just want clarification on what the Leas-Cheann Comhairle said. It is a regular occurrence in the Chamber that the Government deletes the entirety of a Private Members' motion and replaces it with something that completely negates the motion as tabled by the Opposition and this is allowed consistently. However, in this case we are being told one is not allowed do this. I ask for clarification on where the consistency is in the application of this rule.
