Housing: Motion [Private Members]
Dail Éireann — 2023-11-07
============================================================

Darragh O'Brien (FF), Dublin Fingal

On a point of order, I was given ten minutes to respond to a Sinn Féin motion. I moved a countermotion. Every single statement I made has been strategically interrupted by the Deputies opposite. I will not be shouted down. This is a parliamentary democracy. People are elected to speak in the House. The Deputies opposite will not shout me down. They should not interrupt me. I did not interrupt them once.
