Land and Conveyancing Law Reform Bill
The Chair attempts to move to the Land and Conveyancing Law Reform Bill, but Peter Mathews repeatedly challenges the ruling and seeks to question the Taoiseach. The Chair demands an apology and threatens disciplinary action while directing him to sit down.
We now move on to the Land and Conveyancing Law Reform Bill 2015. I call Deputy Mattie McGrath.

He gave the House an undertaking, as did his Tánaiste, to introduce legislation and have it enacted and operational before Christmas. There are four working days left.

Please, a Cheann Comhairle, this is just absurd.
