That should happen because neither I nor my party will agree to such a broad restriction on Members. It is nonsensical. I do not mean that the Chair is nonsensical but such a restriction would be nonsensical. I maintain absolute respect for the Chair and for this forum but that kind of restriction is too onerous.

I did not receive a response from the Leader to a question I put yesterday about the €4 billion in savings that the Government says are required this December. I thought my question yesterday was clear. The Cathaoirleach always tells us to confine ourselves to questions to the Leader. This is the question to the Leader. I know where the €4 billion came from so he should please not tell me that.
