Alan Kelly (LAB), Tipperary

This is about tracing and not about testing. I always have a degree of sympathy and sorrow for the Taoiseach and particularly for the Minister, Deputy Donnelly, because it is obvious that they were not aware of this until very recently. They have been out in the public and they have been talking in here expressing confidence in testing and tracing.
On a point of order, I ask the Ceann Comhairle to tell the Deputy at the back to get off the phone. It happens in here almost every day. It is ridiculous at this stage. I could hear his conversation and I am here trying to ask the Taoiseach a question.
