The Taoiseach might not have realised that he made a remark at the opening of his reply to Deputy Luke 'Ming' Flanagan which could be misconstrued. It related to "somebody dealing" or something like that. Perhaps it should be withdrawn.

Did the Deputy see them all smiling up at your man when they were going out the door there to meet him?

The Taoiseach might not realise that what he said could give people the wrong impression.

Deputy Butler, please.

It is not right what is going on in this House. It is a pantomime going on in here.

Sorry, Deputy, you are not entitled to roar and shout across the Chamber.

It is a disgrace what is happening here.

I am sorry, Deputy, but you have to speak through the Chair.

He is feeling vulnerable, a Cheann Comhairle.

I am not feeling vulnerable. I am telling the truth.
