I will obey the Cathaoirleach's injunction and not make a speech about the Mahon tribunal. However, the Cathaoirleach should be consistent in regard to procedures. In every single session, Senator Regan, in pursuit of a bubble reputation, has brought the Mahon tribunal into this forum. Every time anyone replies to him the Cathaoirleach says, quite rightly, that we should not be debating the Mahon tribunal. We cannot have it both ways. The Cathaoirleach should either stop him at the beginning or allow us to reply to him because in common justice it is not correct that the Mahon tribunal can be kept away from the daily discourse of this nation for the simple reason that there is no such thing as the Mahon tribunal. There is the Mahon media tribunal or the "Daily Mahon".
