On a point of order, and with no disrespect to the Minister of State at the Department of the Taoiseach, Deputy Kehoe, what business does the Chief Whip of Dáil Éireann have debating the Standing Orders of Seanad Éireann? The Constitution mandates us to debate and decide our own affairs. I have a big problem with this. The Constitution is very clear that each House shall elect its chairperson and deal with its own affairs.
