A Cheann Comhairle-----

No thanks.

A Cheann Comhairle-----

No. I am not calling you. It is as simple as that. Please resume your seat.

I want to raise something, please.

Provided you are in order.

I want to check with you that I am in order this time. Am I allowed to ask the Taoiseach a question about the programme for Government and promised legislation?

Promised legislation, yes. Go ahead.

At the very outset of this Dáil term the Taoiseach promised the Irish people he would bring about all of his efforts and energies towards burden sharing-----

Here-----

-----and he introduced a Bill in February 2013 to liquidate IBRC and impose €29 billion at the time - in fact, €32 billion-----

What legislation is the Deputy inquiring about?

-----on the Irish people. Last week, the Taoiseach was in Davos and was told there was an alternative way-----

Deputy, what Bill are you speaking about?

I am talking about the liquidation of IBRC, which is still in progress.

That is not on the Order of Business.

It is-----

What legislation?

-----in the context of-----

This is about promised legislation.

I have another topic to raise, so I do not want to waste too much time on this.

Please put the question about promised legislation.

The audit of the European banks showed that the Irish people were unfairly and wrongly burdened-----

The Deputy is not listening to me.

-----with the debts and losses of banks.

He should resume his seat if he is not putting a question about promised legislation.

The Taoiseach is in a very powerful position.

Deputy, you will be taking a walk again. Please-----

A Cheann Comhairle, please.

Please recognise the Chair-----

I will move to the second item.

-----and adhere to the rules.

I am disappointed.

Promised legislation is what the Order of Business is about.

Yes, but we are all here-----

It is not about making speeches about Davos or anywhere else. I called the Deputy reluctantly and I regret it very much.

The leaders of the Opposition brought up all the failures and the hurts to the Irish people, including-----

Will the Deputy put his question about promised legislation?

-----hospitals, homelessness and housing waiting lists, and if the Taoiseach had €25 billion in funds-----

Sorry, Deputy, will you put your question?

-----he would be able to deal with all of those things.

Will you put your question about promised legislation?
