I appreciate Deputy Broughan's point but I have to point out to him that, under the rules of the House, I, as Acting Chairman, cannot actually put that proposal. It is in the lap of the Ceann Comhairle or Leas-Cheann Comhairle. I am not putting that question and do not have the power to do so as I sit in the Chair.
