Before the Tánaiste replies, I want to make it quite clear to anybody who started this shouting racket on the second day of the 2014-2015 Dáil that I will not put up with it. I will switch off the microphones and that will be the end of it so the Members will not be heard outside here. They either obey the rules or change them. If they do not have enough time, it is up to the Whips to agree a new formula but we are not having this situation every day where we have to ask people to adhere to the rules. It is my job to apply them and, hopefully, I will do so fairly.
