Seán Barrett (Dún Laoghaire, Ceann Comhairle)

This is not a court of law. The Minister has made a statement and the Deputy cannot accuse him of improper behaviour during any parliamentary question. There are other ways of dealing with the matter and if the Deputy cares to contact the officials, they will advise him how to do so. Please refrain from accusing the Minister of something when he is not here to defend himself.
