Other Questions: Deer Culls (12 Nov 2015)

Seán Ó Fearghaíl: I was worried for a moment that we would not have time to talk about Bambi. To be serious, however, this is an important question because a number of serious traffic accidents involving deer have occurred in the Killarney area.

Order of Business (12 Nov 2015)

Seán Ó Fearghaíl: -----I find it perfectly in order for Deputy McDonald to express disgust, anger or revulsion at the actions of the committee, and the Deputy has some history in terms of dealing with the committee. However, it is entirely inappropriate for any Member to berate the Ceann Comhairle, whoever the Ceann Comhairle may be, because in this particular instance the Ceann Comhairle did nothing more...
