You cannot do that. You cannot on one hand talk about the value of the procedures of this House but be involved in heckling those who seek to implement them. You cannot talk about respect for the office of the Ceann Comhairle but at the same time look to abuse her and the way she has performed her functions. Finally, you cannot make the case for the importance of the orderly functioning of democracy and attempt on two different occasions to disrupt that orderly functioning in the way this country has not seen and in the way this House has not seen.

That is at the heart of the fundamental inconsistency of the Opposition today. On one hand, it stands up and talks about the value of order and the value of procedure but at the same time it is the same Opposition members who have taken to their feet on two different occasions, in a way that is without precedent in the history of this Dáil, to disrupt its behaviour. You cannot do both at once.
