In accordance with Standing Order 35, I must now call on the Chief Whip-----

Before the Ceann Comhairle calls the Chief Whip, I wish to raise a point of order. The proposed Order of Business includes changes to Standing Orders. I have made a submission to the Ceann Comhairle on this issue on behalf of Sinn Féin. It is very clear, looking at the video recording of what happened last Tuesday, that the motion on Standing Orders was not passed. It was an amendment to the motion that was passed. It is absolutely clear that any suggestion to move now to the Order of Business and implement changes to Standing Orders is illegitimate. I am asking that the Ceann Comhairle not proceed and that she remove those changes to Standing Orders, particularly the provisions regarding so-called Other Members' Questions.

I thank the Deputy. In response, I would say that Standing Order 35 has been amended and has to be implemented. On that basis, I have a strict obligation to apply the rules. Deputy, please, I ask you to resume your seat until I have finished what I have to say.

If I can respond, then I will resume my seat.

I have a strict obligation to apply the rules. I understand it is disputed. I understand but you have set down your remedy for this afternoon. Could you co-operate so we can get the Order of Business carried out? You have your remedy later this afternoon to work on.

With respect, a Cheann Comhairle, that is not the remedy.

With respect, Deputy-----

What I am saying is that in any objective assessment of the video, you can see with your own eyes and hear clearly tells you that the motion was not passed. It is an amendment to the motion that was passed.

Deputy-----

It is very clear that the Government is completely out of order to bring in these changes to Standing Orders that are so controversial when the motion was not passed.

The Ceann Comhairle is speaking.

Hold on; you are not the Ceann Comhairle, young man.

Neither are you.

Excuse me, I ask Deputies to please-----

Young man.

With all due respect, you have set down a remedy.

No, it is not a remedy.

With regard to acting as Ceann Comhairle, you have. I would say to the Deputy that Standing Order 35 has been amended. I am going to ask the Chief Whip to move the Order of Business.

No, this is not our remedy.

The Deputies have put forward their remedy-----

Any objective assessment tells you this is completely out of order.

I am sorry, Deputy. It is your assessment that you disagree with the note. I am putting the Order of Business to the Chief Whip to move.
