Final Order of Business replies

Summary

The Leader noted the remaining issues, including beef and Roscommon hospital, before being interrupted by the amendment vote process.

I was not saying the Senator was.

Comment on this

On a point of information, perhaps the Leader might refer those comments to the Minister in question, not to me.

Comment on this

It must be the full moon. The Senator is very sensitive this morning. He is very much under pressure.

Comment on this

I am not sensitive.

Tóg go bog é. Will I say again what I said to the Senator?

I heard him the first time. That is why I made the comment.

I do not want any comments.

Comment on this

What the Leader said was that people should not be scaremongering. I said that the Leader should perhaps refer that comment to the Minister, Deputy Ring.

I said "people", not Senator Gallagher.

The Chair is not responsible for content but we must listen to one another.

Comment on this

I did not refer to the Senator specifically; I said "people".

Comment on this

Perhaps the Leader should refer to the Minister in question and name him.

Comment on this

I commend Senator Paddy Burke on his contribution on the electric fleet of An Post and green finance. I commend Senator Reilly, who was instrumental in the installation of the charging points at the back of Leinster House. It is important.

Senator Lombard raised the issue of beef. It is a very sensitive time for those in the beef industry. The Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine, Deputy Creed, is very much aware of that. I would be happy to have him come to the House.

Senator Feighan raised the issues concerning Roscommon hospital and Gurteen post office in Sligo.

I will not be accepting Senator Leyden's amendment to the Order of Business.
