Order and speaking list dispute

Summary

The chair read out the names of Deputies waiting to speak after Leaders’ Questions, prompting protests from members who believed they had also indicated. The chair clarified the order and said the list would be passed on to the next chair.

I want to make it very clear that I wrote down the names of those who indicated they wished to contribute after Leaders' Questions. They are Deputies McConalogue, Breathnach, Munster, Ó Cuív, Curran, MacSharry, Brady, Rabbitte, O'Loughlin, Michael Healy-Rae, Chambers, Troy, McLoughlin, Pearse Doherty, and Nolan.

Deputy Eugene Murphy was the first, actually. He will soon be allowed to contribute.

That may be but it will have to be a matter for the reform committee.

Was the Leas-Cheann Comhairle reading out a list of the Fianna Fáil Parliamentary Party?

I cannot even be partial when it comes to my favourite constituency colleagues. We are starting with Deputy McConalogue. I will pass on the list to the Chair tomorrow.
