Order of Business.

Paddy Burke (Fine Gael)
I am ruling on this matter. I wish to state the following for the benefit of the House. While the RTE apology is in the public domain and it is a matter of public interest to be debated, the substantive issues relating to the apology and the circumstances in which it arises are the subject of proceedings before the courts. In fact, a party to these proceedings has informed us that the matter remains before the courts and, in light of this matter, should not be discussed by any Member in either House.
