Before I call the Leader, I remind Members of the need for debate on the Order of Business to proceed in an orderly manner. Members should not interrupt when another Member has been called to speak.

I do not wish for interruptions. I would also remind everyone that the Cathaoirleach issued a letter to all Members just two weeks ago setting out the purpose and speaking arrangements for the Order of Business. I expect all Members to adhere to those arrangements, which I must emphasise were agreed by their representatives on the Committee on Procedure and Privileges-----

I must insist that at all times the office of the Chair must be respected and the rulings of the Chair must be adhered to.
