Parliamentary speaking rights
Peter Mathews complains about being excluded from the Technical Group and proposes constitutional protection for parliamentarians under Article 38.1. The Taoiseach confirms that he has received the proposal, amid brief interjections.
There is a second thing, a Cheann Comhairle, because I get forgetful. The Taoiseach made statements on Northern Ireland. I am not in a position to make a contribution on those given my status as just an ordinary Member of the Dáil.

It concerns the constitutional protection of parliamentarians. It would be very apt and appropriate.
