Equal treatment for Egan’s of Patrick Street

Summary

Fitzgerald asks how discrimination can be raised and questions why Egan’s of Patrick Street cannot receive treatment comparable to Bewley’s. The Chair tells him to resume his seat; Flynn then makes a procedural request about Question No. 31.

No one underestimates the difficult task of being Ceann Comhairle and I am sure the Ceann Comhairle is equally aware of the difficulties posed for Members of the House. I understood Deputy Lyons' question was in order and I seek the Chair's guidance on how a matter involving discrimination can be brought before the House.

I have dealt with that question and I do not intend to deal with it in depth.

Why can Egan's of Patrick Street not get the same kind of treatment as Bewley's in Dublin? I do not begrudge the treatment being given to Bewleys.

The Deputy should resume his seat.

I will. I want to put that on the record. This is discrimination.

May I have Question No. 31 left on the Order Paper, please, as my priority one.
