Leeside Apartments protest

Summary

After the suspension, Barry continued insisting there had been an agreement allowing him to speak briefly and that Ministers were ignoring the tenants’ plight. The Chair rejected this, described his conduct as disorderly, and repeatedly ordered him to sit down before finally moving on.

Can we proceed in a more orderly fashion, please? I call Deputy Mattie McGrath.
