I refer to Nos. 150a and 150b on the Order Paper. I appreciate the Tánaiste's remarks that the banking inquiry is a Dáil banking inquiry. It is not a Government proposal, but a Dáil, a parliamentary, exercise. With that in mind the committee that is being established to carry out the banking inquiry will have nine members.

Sorry, we cannot discuss that now.

It is in light of the Tánaiste saying that it is a Dáil inquiry. The recent court case had a jury of up to 15 people.

Hold on a second. We cannot debate this now.

I understand, a Cheann Comhairle.

You have to understand. I understand you have a point but not on the Order of Business.

It is on the Order of Business.

Put down a Topical Issue or a parliamentary question.

Sorry, a Cheann Comhairle, it is on 150b.

We cannot debate the number of people on a committee on the Order of Business. It is as simple as that.

Thank you, Deputy. Please resume your seat. It is not in order on the Order of Business.

Sorry, a Cheann Comhairle. I was removed from committees as a punishment for-----

Hold on a minute. Please resume your seat.

That exists to this day and that is wrong in a democracy.

Would you switch off the microphones, please?

Deputy Brian Walsh is back.

Would you please resume your seat, Deputy Mathews? I will not ask you again.

I apologise.

Every time you stand up, you are out of order. You will not adhere to the Chair. I call Deputy Pringle.

A Cheann Comhairle-----

You know what can and cannot be raised on the Order of Business. Deputy, will you sit down?

This is why the country is in the state it is in.

Raise this some other way.

This is why Ireland is in the state it is in and it is wrong.
