Summary
Deputy Higgins supports the Ceann Comhairle’s defence of Members without party protection and says he will raise the issue with the Whips; Deputy Kehoe notes that Deputy Higgins rarely attends Friday sittings.
Briefly, I wish to support the Ceann Comhairle's point.

The Whips should discuss it. It is wrong that the system crushes people who do not have the protection of parties, etc. I will raise the matter with the Whips.
