Richard O'Donoghue (IND), Limerick County

On a point of order, the Ceann Comhairle called on Deputy Michael Collins earlier. He was on the list yesterday and the Ceann Comhairle called on him again today. I had put my name down behind Deputy Michael Collins and yet six Sinn Féin speakers spoke without the Ceann Comhairle ever calling my name. They did not walk up to the stage and singly put down their names while I was sitting in the Chamber. Is there somebody putting down block lists, therefore, to get their names down or are they going up singly to put down their names, as I did this morning after Deputy Michael Collins? I was not allowed to speak.
