I have been summoned by An Leas-Cheann Comhairle to deal with a matter of gross disorder. I move: "That Deputy Rabbitte be suspended from the service of the House". Is this motion opposed?

Yes. On a point of order, Deputy Rabbitte had resumed his seat.

The matter cannot be discussed.

Vótáil.

Under Standing Order 61 the division claimed will be postponed until before the Order of Business tomorrow. The Deputy stands suspended and must withdraw from the Chamber. He may, however, vote in that division.

Deputy Rabbitte withdrew from the Chamber.

On a point of order——

A point of order does not arise at this stage. There can be no discussion on this matter. We must proceed to Question No. 83.
