Not for each individual.

No, not to any individual. They would be collective, for a library.

It is not agreed. Last week, the Taoiseach described the proposal for a question-and-answer session with the Minister of State at the Department of Further and Higher Education, Research, Innovation and Science, Deputy Niall Collins, as a "kangaroo court" and the Government voted to block it. The result was a deeply unsatisfactory statement by Deputy Collins last Thursday in which he failed to clearly state whether he knew that his wife had expressed interest in the land when he participated in the decision to put …

I object to the Order of Business on the grounds that we need a question-and-answer session with Deputy Collins this week.

It was the same with Deputy Barry Cowen. The issue with Deputy Cowen was not about ministerial responsibilities.

It was the same with Deputy English and Deputy Troy. Ethics in public office.

No, I did not. There was a trial that found me not guilty.

That is scandalous. Another abuse of privilege.

Of detaining two women.

A scandalous interference with our courts, the media, the Standards in Public Office Commission, SIPO, the Dáil. You do not respect any of them.

I am very happy to come in here and answer questions. I went through a trial and if the House can change the order, I am happy to answer any questions, to facilitate any questions that exist.

Next Saturday, the British state will spend £100 million of public money on a coronation for "King Charles". James Connolly was right when he described the British monarchy as "tyranny imposed by the hand of greed and treachery upon the human race". The coronation comes at a time when 4 million children in Britain are facing food poverty. The monarchy as an institution is built on racism, privilege and empire. This is a very obvious attempt to rehabilitate that institution. Some republicans are saying they will att…

I raise with the Taoiseach the fate of Iceland workers who now have very different conditions on this island. The company has sold its stores in the South while retaining the stores in the North. Staff in the South were told nothing about the fact that their employment was being transferred and they are now working for a franchisee of Iceland. Clearly, the workers should be covered by the transfer of undertakings legislation. They should be guaranteed the same terms and conditions but that has not happened. Workers…

Were there rising incomes this year?

I have a simple question: will we get a constitutional referendum on neutrality? The Government likes to talk of the need for a public debate on neutrality. It has a ready-up system of forums on international security policy, led by a dame of the British Empire who has publicly come out in support of the US invasion of Afghanistan and US coups in Chile, Cuba and Nicaragua. The Tánaiste has spoken of the need for a debate that is not about a binary issue, so not neutrality or militarism, but some secret third thing,…

He has not.

You are not.

That was quite an incredible display of bluff, bluster and attempted distraction from what has been happening. The Tánaiste did not answer any of the questions. Why has the Government, with the support of so-called Independents, voted to block any questioning of the Minister of State, Deputy Niall Collins? We know we will not get a proper addressing of the very serious allegations of corruption against him. How do we know that? Because it is less than two months since he was in here making a statement about the las…

It is clear.

Is he saying that his wife-----
