Joe Higgins (Dublin West, Socialist Party)

I want to comply with what the Ceann Comhairle has just said. I acknowledge that he referred Deputy Wallace's request to the Committee on Members' Interests. If that committee deliberates the matter, it will come back to the Dáil afterwards. However, if the committee decides that it does not want to address the matter, it is unthinkable that we do not have time this week - I am asking the Taoiseach to facilitate us - for statements from all the parties.
