Seán Barrett (Dún Laoghaire, Ceann Comhairle) | Oireachtas source

Before I ask the Taoiseach to reply, I want to make it quite clear that if I do not have the confidence of this House to run this Chair, I intend resigning. I will not come in here, day in, day out, and be ignored by either the Government or by the Opposition. If I call time I mean it is time and it is up to you people to answer within the time limit allocated. If you wish additional time, go to the Committee on Procedure and Privileges and get it. I am not going to spend my time getting upset here every day with people running six and seven minutes over on each question. Let this be clear.
