That was conveyed to our Whip and our Whip said that was not acceptable to us. We want these issues dealt with. We also put these issues in to the Ceann Comhairle's office; other parties may have been lackadaisical about doing that but we were not and the Ceann Comhairle's office accepted the motion. Others have reasonably asked to see the motion but it is up to the Ceann Comhairle's office to supply the motion. Now you are saying, a Cheann Comhairle, that Standing Orders do not allow this motion that has been tabled by us. Then let us put a motion to suspend Standing Orders to allow that to happen.
