That was my understanding. Maybe I am talking too much and will get myself into a bit of trouble. Maybe it is time to stop.

I listened to Deputies Naughten and Terence Flanagan speak. I apologise for missing Deputy Mathews’s contribution. I also listened to Deputy Creighton. They all made very genuine points. No matter how one considers it, in the realm of fairness and equity, I do not expect funding to follow those who lose the party Whip. That would be chaotic. I do not know how many members are in Labour’s parliamentary party, whether it is 31 or 32.
