Barry challenged the Chair’s decision to rule questions on Anglo-Irish relations out of order, asking for the Standing Order and an explanation of different treatment. The Chair referred to his earlier statement and communication and called for the next question.

Will the Chair indicate the Standing Order under which that was done, and why it did not apply to Questions Nos. 18, 35 and 37?

Deputy Barry I have nothing to add to the statement I made yesterday and the communication I made in regard to the Deputy's question. Question No. 5 please.
