-----to the Minister outlining his interpretation of Standing Order 57(3) would be a minimal and reasonable request. With due respect for what Opposition Deputies are saying, I ask the Leas-Cheann Comhairle not to proceed with this matter today pending my request and a reconsideration by the Ceann Comhairle. The Taoiseach's withdrawal of the motion would in no shape or form be him going against the Ceann Comhairle's ruling. This was on yesterday's Order Paper and was pulled. There is no reason not to remove it from today's Order Paper and to move it to next week. In the interim, we could have full transparency and engagement on the issue of why the Dáil was about to establish an inquiry when not a single Deputy could comment on the merits, demerits or otherwise of the establishment of that inquiry.
