What I will say to the Ceann Comhairle now is that under protest, I am taking the 30 seconds. To be clear, every party should have the right to decide who speaks for them on the Order of Business. This is blatant what is happening here. The Taoiseach does not want to be held to account, so the Government Chief Whip responds. It is treated like some procedural matter. Rather than dealing with the actual business of the Dáil for the week, we will have huge political controversy potentially every Tuesday. This is an attempt to tell every political party who should speak for them on the Order of Business. It is blatant what is happening here, and it was not even passed. We will absolutely oppose the Order of Business because it is illegitimate. It is illegal and blatant what happened.
