Pearse Doherty (Donegal, Sinn Fein) | Oireachtas source

On a point of order, if the Government is now of the view that the Deputy should not withdraw his comments and all we need is a clarification of Standing Orders, I suggest that, since it is 4.50 p.m., we can all read Standing Orders in our own time. If there is no request for a withdrawal - it is up to the Deputy whether he withdraws the remark - we need to pursue the issue we are discussing. The Minister has already availed of his first opportunity out of two and has not referred at all to the fact that the losses are allowed to be carried on in the banks. Let us not lose focus on what we are discussing.
