Ag bogadh ar aghaidh, an Teachta Niamh Smyth.

It is one rule for the east coast and one for the west.

You settled for less.

It is 100% for the east but not for the west. That is what you stood over.

You settled for less in 2019.

Deputies, please.

It was the Minister, Deputy McConalogue. The Tánaiste did the same, as did his campaigners. It is 100% for the east but not 100% for the west.

Does Deputy Mac Lochlainn have any respect for the Chair?

It is second-class citizenship and the Tánaiste knows it.

I ask Deputy Mac Lochlainn to stop.

It is second-class citizenship for victims in the west.

I have rarely said it, but Deputy Mac Lochlainn is completely and utterly out of order.

If the Taoiseach would honestly answer the question-----

The Deputy is out of order. This is not an interchange. He is out of order.

I will respect An Leas-Cheann Comhairle. I am disappointed as always with the Taoiseach.

I presume that is an apology.

I apologise to An Leas-Cheann Comhairle, but not to the Taoiseach - or Tánaiste.

I call Deputy Smyth.

I appreciate that Deputy Mac Lochlainn referred to me as the Taoiseach. I clearly made a lasting impact on him.

He might be the Tánaiste again after the next election.
