I will deal with what I want to deal with and will continue to say what I want to say. I thank the Chair for his advice and I will note it.

It would be more appropriate to deal with this. We deal with a Bill on this issue, the Civil Registration (Amendment) Bill, which provided quite openly that humanists and wizards and witches and holy rollers of various kinds can perform marriages. I now find myself in a State where, as a second class citizen, I can be married by a witch, but I cannot be married as or to a fairy. I honestly think the Minister of State should take that under her wing and bring it back to Cabinet, because that is a human issue that affects people, not the nonsense we are dealing with today. I hope there will be five upstanding persons, of whatever gender, here to enable me to register my vote of protest against Europe.
