I do not mind what it is called, but it is an important point.

There are young people in the Visitors' Gallery and there are young people at home listening to this debate on their computers. The phraseology being used in the debate is disgraceful. I carried a dead baby who was removed while I was under anaesthetic. The carry-on here is disgraceful. I urge the Cathaoirleach to use his good office and stop this kind of talk here. There is no need for it. Everybody in the Chamber knows what we are talking about. We do not need to have it vocalised in front of children and young adolescents who may be listening in at home. I do not care what kind of point the Chair calls this, but that is the way I feel about it.
