In the context of the common arrangements for gas Bill, will the Taoiseach direct his attention to the Shannon LNG project in north Kerry, where 700 hundred jobs are in jeopardy?

I told the Deputy last week that this is not a matter for the Order of Business.

I tried to raise this as a Topical Issue last week and again today.

Keep trying.

This relates to 700 jobs and €1 billion in investment.

Please resume your seat. This is not a matter for the Order of Business.

I tried to raise it as a Topical Issue Matter, as have other Deputies. Two days have now passed without instruction on this issue.

There are 166 Deputies in this House and there is a system whereby we try to be fair to everybody.

Five Deputies tried to raise the issue last Thursday and three tried to do so today.

The fact that Deputy Griffin tabled something does not mean he is going to speak on it on the same day.

It involves 700 jobs and an investment of €1 billion.

The common arrangements for gas Bill will be introduced next year.

The Taoiseach can deal with the Deputy privately. I told him about that last week and he was very rude to the Chair in this Chamber.
