The amendment to the Order of Business-----

On a point of clarification, I want to inform Deputy McDonald that I am neither lad nor lacky. She gets her instructions from the army council in Belfast.

Resume your seat, Deputy.

I call for some order.

I am happy to clarify that in fact I called the Deputies underlings and not lackies, just for the record.

Resume your seat, Deputy.

We can do this and have a shouting match and nobody will hear anybody. I ask the Members here to please respect the Chair and respect each other. If they continue to shout across each other, we will not get any business done. They should use their time wisely.

When the Leader of the Opposition calls us lackies it is a disgrace.

I called them underlings not lackies.

It is a disgrace. How dare she.

Minister, please-----

I was elected by the people in Longford-Westmeath

He was and he will speak here in an orderly fashion. I ask him please not to raise his voice across the Chamber. He is just wasting time.

A Leas-Cheann Comhairle-----

For the avoidance of doubt, they are in fact underlings and not lackies. I am happy to clarify that.
