Alex White (Labour)

On a point of order, there has been enough cynicism, although not from the Chair at any time. Members on the far side have engaged in cynical manoeuvring. They have withdrawn their own amendments and utterly abused the procedures of this House in respect of this legislation. It is an absolute disgrace. The Leas-Chathaoirleach made a ruling on foot of what Senator Ross proposed. The Leas-Chathaoirleach is the only person in the Chair. No one else is in the Chair. He has made a ruling, just as he made a ruling that went against us a minute or two before, which we had to accept. It cannot be reversed on the basis of advice tendered a few minutes later.
