‹ Order of Business Late sitting and bar access
Summary
Gerry Adams jokingly proposes closing the bar or using breathalyser tests during the late sitting, prompting partisan exchanges before the Chair restores order.
Given the decision to sit beyond midnight, I ask that the bar be closed or that breathalyzer tests be introduced for Teachtaí entering the Chamber.

On a point of order, some members of Deputy Adams's party were in the bar recently when we sat late. I was drinking tea and coffee and was not on any hard stuff. Deputy Adams should speak for himself. Members of his party were in the bar on the night in question.

Deputy Adams is doing the House a disservice.
