Presidential election remarks
A short dispute arose when Craughwell mentioned the Presidency and salaries, and the Chair ruled that the House could not discuss it during an election. The Leader accepted that ruling and declined to discuss the matter further.

Senator Craughwell never ceases to come up with interesting angles on the presidential election. I remind him-----

To be fair, if that was the case the Senator should also have commended the Uachtarán on taking a pay cut at the beginning of his term in office.
