The only reason I remained is because I sought clarification from the Acting Chairman and the secretariat. It states here, and other Members were informed by the Ceann Comhairle, that they could contribute in the next session. That is why I remained. I do not expect the Acting Chairman to be dictated to by other Members as to when I can and cannot speak. I speak through the Chair and I will not be dictated to. I will not be accused of playing games by any other Members.
