‹ Order of Business. - Ministerial Rota for Parliamentary Questions: Motion. Deputy Sheehan not called on Order of Business
Summary
Noonan protests that the Chair closed the Order of Business before Deputy Sheehan could speak. The Chair says Sheehan should have proceeded, directs the House to move to the Health Bill, and rejects further discussion; Noonan continues his protest.
The point of order is that the Chair indicated that Deputy Sheehan would be called on the Order of Business. He was called, made three attempts to speak and was quite orderly but the Chair closed down the Order of Business before he could speak.
Comment on this
There is no further discussion. We are moving on to the Health (Miscellaneous Provisions) (No. 2) Bill, 2000—
Comment on this
We are moving to the Report Stage. The Deputy should resume his seat when the Chair is on his feet. It is quite disorderly to persist.
