Camillus Glynn (Fianna Fail)

It is my understanding that every Member of this House is provided, upon election, with a copy of Standing Orders by the Clerk. The latter never disappoints us in terms of her efficiency. It is not appropriate for any Member to address the Cathaoirleach as Chairman. Standing Order No. 4 specifically states that the Cathaoirleach must be addressed as precisely that. It demeans the House if the Cathaoirleach is not addressed in a manner consistent with Standing Orders. One Member consistently fails to do so and I find that offensive. It brings the House into disrepute.
