Agreed.

Is the proposal for dealing with Topical Issues today agreed to? Agreed.

I call Deputy Dooley on the Order of Business.

What is happening about next week?

I have nothing here before me.

Normally on Thursday we find out. The rumour is that we will only be here for one day.

I have called Deputy Dooley.

Can we get some clarification?

We will deal with the Order of Business now and we will come back.

The House collapsed yesterday. The House has collapsed for hours three times in the past three weeks.

Does the Deputy wish to be called?

With the committee and other work, we have no Dáil here for three or four hours every week. It is a farce. Now we are getting rumours that there is nothing happening next week.

Was the Deputy here yesterday?

I was here.

I have called Deputy Dooley. I will call Deputy Mattie McGrath if he wishes to be called.

What is happening next week? I ask for clarification. It could fall apart again.

Quiet, please.

The Government needs to get its fingers out.

At least we do not get gangs after people.

Can we have order please. I call Deputy Dooley.

I do not know what the Minister of State is insinuating about gangs after people. I ask the Leas-Cheann Comhairle to have him withdraw it, please. I do not know what you are insinuating about gangs after me or getting gangs after everyone.

Deputy McGrath-----

Will he withdraw that remark, please?

I cannot hear everything.

Will he withdraw that remark, please?

I heard no remark. I have called Deputy Dooley.

I am sure the Clerk heard it. We all heard it. I want him to withdraw it.

I am trying to listen to Deputy Dooley.

On a point of order, I want the remark about getting gangs after people withdrawn.

I do not know what was said.

I was never involved in any such activity. He might have been with the Blueshirts.

Okay. All right.

No, it is not all right.

I call Deputy Dooley.

No. I want it withdrawn, please.

I have not-----

You can check with the Clerk later.

Excuse me-----

We all heard it.

If there is disorder in the House I cannot hear what is going on. There was disorder-----

There were clear remarks. A very serious insinuation was made against my character.

I will listen to the tape and we will go back to the Deputy on that. I call Deputy Dooley.
