David Norris (Independent)

I would like to register my delight at the Leas-Chathaoirleach's wonderfully Jesuitical justification. I shall remember it because it applies to every single amendment that has been excluded previously. In other words, as long as it comes within the global budget, no matter what it dislodges, it is not a charge on the Exchequer. I am extremely grateful for his instruction. I shall improve and I shall certainly use this justification when I am arguing for the retention of these kinds of amendments in the future.
