Orderly conduct and housing

Summary

The Chair called for order as the argument continued, and Senator Murnane O'Connor linked the dispute to teachers’ unhappiness and the large housing waiting list.

Please, Senators.

The recovery is happening. More people are back at work, income levels are up and poverty is down. Will I keep going for Senator Murnane O'Connor? This is a better Government and a better country than it was the way Fianna Fáil left it in 2007.

Poverty levels have increased.

The Senator should read the report-----

That is why the teachers are not happy and that is why there are 10,000 people on the housing list.

If Senator Murnane O'Connor keeps interrupting, I will suspend the sitting for half an hour. She might not be here at 11 p.m. but others will. The Senator put a question to the Leader and I gave her ample time to do so. I ask her to allow the Leader to respond. If she is not happy with the response, she can raise the matter again tomorrow.
