Paschal Donohoe (Dublin Central, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

I understand that the practice of the House is that one cannot make a charge against somebody who is not here to defend himself or herself. I understand that is the order of the House. It is understandable that many Members of the House want to make charges based on the motives of people or choices that are being made that cause great difficulty and anxiety for people. Deputy McGrath, however, just stood up and made allegations against members of the Judiciary. The Chair needs to provide direction to the House regarding the Standing Orders on this matter. Having received them, he should make a determination as to whether the Deputy's comment was in order.
