I submitted a matter under Standing Order 32 yesterday evening, but it has not been taken. Are you being political about this, a Cheann Comhairle?

I have written to the Deputy to inform him-----

I submitted this matter before 7 p.m. yesterday, but your office did not get back to me until 10.15 a.m. this morning. The Minister for the Environment, Heritage and Local Government is out promoting a candidate for Lord Mayor of Dublin before he announces procedure. This is completely out of order and I am entitled to raise it as a Member of this Parliament.

The Deputy must resume his seat and withdraw the charge that the Chair is being political.

You either do that or you leave the House.

That is very abrupt.

This is dreadful behaviour. I am not entitled to ask a question as a Member of this House. It is out of order.
