Finance (Covid-19 and Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill 2021: Second Stage
Dail Éireann — 2021-07-01
============================================================

Seán Ó Fearghaíl (CC), Kildare South

Will the Deputy please resume his seat? The situation is quite clear. Several speakers were not here at the time they were scheduled to speak. As a result, the debate progressed to the point at which there was nobody in the Chamber offering who had not already spoken.
I called on the Minister to respond and, as he stood to do so, Deputies Boyd Barrett and Michael Collins entered the Chamber and made a case that, because they were entering at that point, they should be allowed to speak. I agreed and made a ruling that we would hear Deputies Boyd Barrett and Michael Collins but not anybody else. I stand over that ruling.
