Am I right in saying I may also refer to the programme for Government?

No.

To which programme for Government does Deputy Mathews refer?

I refer to the programme for Government which is now ending.

Is he speaking about the next one?

No. It is now in its last week.

If it is to do with promised legislation, it is in order.

Deputy Martin justifiably said that this is a moment for a bit of self-reflection.

No. We do not have reflection on the Order of Business, as far as I am concerned.

For God's sake.

This is about promised legislation.

A Cheann Comhairle, please.

Ask your question, please.

Okay. The Government promised that there would be "burden-sharing" on the losses of the private banking sector. That was a promise in the programme for Government.

It is not a promise on the Order of Business. We have been through this before

A Cheann Comhairle, my patience is at its wits' end.

Just stick with it, thank you.

I feel that I am being bullied at this stage.

You are not being bullied.

I do, and I am saying the word advisedly. Please allow me to contribute.

You had better not accuse the Chair of bullying.

I have been here when there were 11 Members in the House, plus the Taoiseach, plus yourself.

Excuse me, Deputy.

I had my hand up for ten minutes.

You have been at this for the last number of years, never mind today.

For God's sake.

I have told you consistently that-----

I care for the people of this country.

-----there are certain things you can raise on the Order of Business.

They have been served by a Government with a massive majority for five years.

They have not been served. They have been ill served.

Deputy Mathews, you will be taking another walk if you are not careful. Now make up your mind. You either stick-----

Would you please stop bullying me? I am asking you to stop bullying me.

Oh my God.

I am not bullying you. I am not bullying you.

You are. This is the programme for Government.

Deputy, I ask you to withdraw that remark.

I am not withdrawing the remark.

Well then, leave the House, please.

I will.

Thank you.

I think it is a shame.

Thank you. Leave the House. I am not taking that abuse from you any more.

Taoiseach, I think you should stand up and stop this nonsense.

Would you please leave the House?

You will be missed, Peter.

I do. It is disgraceful behaviour.

You will be missed.

There is one week to go.
