Senator Conway-Walsh started the contributions on Bs, and I shall continue them. B is for Brexit and the Government getting a wonderful deal in solidarity with our EU partners.

A deal that will not be used.

"B" is for plan B.

There is no plan B.

Is that a cast iron deal?

Is that to "B" or not to "B"?

Please Senators, we will not get through the business. I ask the Leader to, please, ignore everyone.

I am not responding to the interruptions.

He is getting fed up with us now.

"B" is for the brilliant leadership of An Taoiseach.

"B" is for the blunders of the new leader of Sinn Féin, and we know what they are. "B" is for the balaclavas and baseball bats of last weekend.

Of An Garda Síochána.

Did Leo send that down?

We are trying to get through the Order of Business.

The Leader needs to take that back. I can take a joke as much as anyone else.

I did not mention the Senator.

I hope there is no inference in anything the Leader said. There is stuff being bandied about-----

What kind of inference?

The Leader directed his "B"s at Senator Conway-Walsh.

I did not say that at all.

Stuff is being bandied about what happened in Roscommon. It is far from being a joke.

I was not joking.

Statements are being made in the Houses that it is this, that or the other.

I thank the Senator but the remarks were not to be directed at any Member of the Seanad.

That is not true.

Senator Conway-Walsh knows that full well.

The Leader has made that clear.

Let us not-----

Senator Conway-Walsh knows full well that I am not in any way directing that her way. She should not try to insinuate otherwise.

No, but-----

We will continue.

I am not going to take that now.

We will have calm now.
