Seán Barrett (Dún Laoghaire, Ceann Comhairle)

The Standing Orders are there for everybody to read. I advised Deputy Wallace that he had the right to seek Government time but that a personal explanation under Standing Order 44 was not in order. If Deputies Martin, Joe Higgins and Wallace want to ask for Government time on the Order of Business to debate an issue, that is their right and I will facilitate them.
