I appreciate Deputy Catherine Murphy's case. I understand where she is coming from. Deputy McGrath has been speaking for a considerable period. I have to go by the rules. The Business Committee makes up the rules. If the Deputy has difficulties with this procedure she should get it sorted out. I cannot do anything more about it this evening. I have no right to overrule him on it. I did ask Deputy McGrath to consider the other people who want to speak.

I ask him to bring his long oration to a conclusion to allow other Members in. Deputy McGrath is being asked by the Chair to consider that. I ask him to have some respect for the Chair and maybe bring to a conclusion his contribution.
