Yes, I have. I would like to ask whether this the direction in which Seanad Éireann is going. It is getting to be like D-Day here with all the parachutes landing all over the place. Would the Leader agree with me that it indicates the Taoiseach's continuing determination to corrupt the Seanad? He has said that-----

That is completely out of order. Have you a question for the Leader?

Yes, I have. I am asking him to draw these matters to the attention of the Taoiseach and the Government. What happened in Galway was history. It was the only time in the Presidential election campaign that a candidate was denied the opportunity to speak by the mayoral vote of the now Senator Naughton-----

We are not discussing the Presidential election.

I am putting that in the context of what is happening to this Seanad.

That has no relevance to what is happening to the Order of Business today. Have you a question for the Leader?

I want to say this. This is the shape of things to come. Last week, we had a situation in which 78 amendments were tabled and 77 were ruled out. One was left as a fig leaf. That has never happened in my time in the Seanad. The next day, the Standing Orders of Seanad Éireann were suspended. The Committee of Selection was bypassed in an astonishing way. Those people who had spoken out were punished-----

Have you a question on the Order of Business?

-----and this is simply the follow-through. This is about the Order of Business, because we are now dealing with the Protection of Life During Pregnancy Bill 2013. We have tabled a number of amendments, but the Bill was guillotined before we got to them.

I would like to say the following about the behaviour of the Government in recent weeks, and there is no personal animus in this. If we look at what has happened, the statements issued and the people issuing them, and if we look at how the Government subverted the rule of law by coming out with a platform before the legislation was passed-----

Are you proposing an amendment to the Order of Business?

This is the shape of things to come. Let the Irish people beware. This is the way we will have the rule of law treated in this country if we do not retain Seanad Éireann.

You are way over time. I call on Senator Henry.
