Dispute over supplementary questions

Summary

Kelly protested that the Chair had refused him a supplementary, calling the restriction unfair. The Chair said the question had been sufficiently covered and directed the House to move on.

Question No. 2.

Comment on this

Why am I not being allowed to ask a supplementary?

Comment on this
Joseph Brennan An Ceann Comhairle Fianna Fáil

The Chair has decided that we have had three or four supplementaries on that question, and we should move on to the next question.

But surely we can discuss a little further this non-political and non-contentious matter.

The Chair is not concerned as to whether the matter is political and has decided that sufficient questions have been allowed on the question.

With respect, you are keeping us on an unreasonably short rein in this instance.

The matter has been covered sufficiently. The Deputy may not argue with the Chair.

Comment on this

The Chair is being unfair. I am anxious to ask the Taoiseach about something that he mentioned specifically.

The Deputy will have other opportunities.
