Joe O'Toole (Independent)

On a point of order, I do want to be awkward but this is an error. This is the same idea. The Sinn Féin recommendation refers to the need to examine the introduction of a stimulus package. Can somebody tell us from where the charge comes? I am not comfortable with challenging the rulings of the Chair; it is not something which is done lightly. Would the Cathaoirleach at least undertake to re-examine these rulings for the debate on Report Stage? I do not want to hold up the business of the House at this stage. There is a fair way of dealing with this issue. I ask the Cathaoirleach to discuss it with the relevant people. I am disinterested because they are not my recommendations but, in terms of how the House does its business, I am keenly interested in this issue.

Two very important issues have been raised. One asks the Government to examine the concept of a Tobin tax, with which the Acting Chairman has dealt, and the other is the idea of a financial stimulus for job creation. There is no question of a cost.
