A Cheann Comhairle, I am seeking clarification on No. b8, motion re membership of committees. When does that take effect? No. b8 on the Order Paper confirms that Deputy Mick Wallace is to be discharged from the Select Committee on Investigations, Oversight and Petitions and be replaced by Deputy Boyd Barrett. I wanted to confirm that Injun Joe has done a hatchet job on Deputy Mick Wallace.

Let me clarify one thing. I was asked by the Government Whip to put an Order of Business announced by the Taoiseach to the House, which is that a motion on this matter be taken without debate. I put that question to the House and nobody objected. Later, I will put the question that the motion be agreed. If the Deputy has objections to it, that is the time to raise it. Please do not start roaring and shouting at me because I am doing my job in accordance with the order.

I was not roaring and shouting.

Your party Whip did.

I was not roaring and shouting. I asked a question under Standing Orders-----

You were not entitled to do it and you were told to resume your seat. I call Deputy Healy-Rae.

I am entitled to ask the question under Standing Orders.

You are not entitled to put a question at that point.

You are wrong.

I am not wrong. You should go and learn the Standing Orders and something about the Order of Business.

You are wrong.

You put a motion to agree that a motion be taken without debate, full stop.

Are you saying nobody can say anything about it?

On a point of clarification, a Cheann Comhairle, is the Deputy not half of the Government Whip?

The Deputy should resume his seat. I call Deputy Healy-Rae.

I thought he was half of the Government Whip. He is confusing us all now.

I wish the Government would make up its mind whether this is agreed without debate.

Yes, a Cheann Comhairle.
