No, absolutely not. Rubbish. I do not accept it because the Cathaoirleach is talking about tradition. One could make that up as one went along. It is not a rule of the House. I do not accept it. We are going to take the sections, oppose them and do it the way this House wants to do it and not the way the Government wants to do it. To hell with long-standing tradition. May I remind the Cathaoirleach that this House is a long-standing tradition - as long-standing as Dáil Éireann.
