The rules are broken here. That is the only problem.

I propose an amendment to the Order of Business, "That No. 11 be taken before No. 1". I join the congratulations given by the acting leader of the Labour Party in the House, Senator O'Keeffe, to Senator Mary Ann O'Brien on introducing the very important topic of the access of young children to extreme forms of pornography. However, I cannot congratulate the Minister for Communications, Energy and Natural Resources, Deputy Rabbitte. I am glad Senator O'Keeffe mentioned it. Despite the fact that this measure originated in the House, in his lengthy discussion the Minister scrupulously avoided any mention of Seanad Éireann or Senator Mary Ann O'Brien.

Hear, hear.

Is that not interesting? It is par for the course. I would love a debate on the budget and I would love to have the budget a few days before the referendum on the Senate. We all know it will be a stinker of a budget and the timing of this is very clearly done. There is a continuing usurpation of democratic forces. The schedule that this must be taken after we conclude the Bill, No. 2 on the Order Paper, purports to be an information service to the people of Ireland but is another example of the usurpation. It is a function of the referendum commission. How dare the Government stick its nose into it. It is grossly partisan and wrong.

I have compared what is going on here to Grattan's Parliament and the way it was suborned. There was bribery and corruption and bullying. I have mentioned, and I believe it to be true, that jobs, promotion and preferment are on offer and that is one of the things that is corrupt in this House. The Government is up to its ears in it. Will the Leader have an investigation into the allegation of Senator Landy? For the first time, money has been specifically mentioned and financial inducements to travel to America. I do not know which side it was but it does not matter to me.

It was not this side.

It was not us.

It is completely wrong. I see lots of smiling in the other side.
