Christopher O'Sullivan (Cork South West, Fianna Fail) | Oireachtas source

I do not believe for one second that the Ceann Comhairle had a rush of blood to the head. I believe he was acting on news that must have come quickly to him and on the best advice from the Clerk.

I would like clarification on Topical Issue matters. I had intended to raise a very important issue on damage done to roads in west Cork due to flooding in August, and I am seeking funding for same. By the looks of it, I will not get that chance tonight. I seek clarification on whether Topical Issue matters will be taken tonight. If they are not taken tonight will the Topical Issue matters chosen for discussion tonight be taken tomorrow instead? It is very important for my constituents that I raise this issue.
