Denis O'Donovan: That is not a point of order. Sometimes the enthusiasm of people who oppose Senator Mullen for whatever reason encourages him to expand his theories or views. I will chastise Senator Mullen in a fair way but I would like to allow him to conclude his point. He should not be interrupted. Members may not agree with his point but he is entitled to make it.

Denis O'Donovan: I do not think that has anything to do with the current topic. Senator Mullen is starting to meander slightly, like the colleague I admonished earlier. I am trying to be fair but Senator Mullen should not draw me into making a decision he may not like.

Denis O'Donovan: I cautioned the Senator earlier. He keeps wandering from the subject and quoting. If he sticks to the topic, I will be fair to him, but I have already admonished him on at least three or four occasions. He is spreading out the debate as if he was making a Second Stage speech, but I will soon pull the plug on him and it will also affect his colleagues.
