Thank you, Deputy.

I ask Deputies to behave with a bit of dignity, please. I call the Chief Whip to conclude on this matter.

Please. The Chief Whip should be allowed to speak, without interruption.

Deputy Mattie McGrath should please let the Chief Whip answer.

Shush, please.

Please.

I thank the Chief Whip. Is the proposal from the Chief Whip agreed?

Before we proceed to Leaders' Questions, I wish to make a brief statement concerning the correspondence between the Chief Justice, Mr. Justice Frank Clarke, and Mr. Justice Séamus Woulfe which has been the subject of commentary in the media and elsewhere since its release yesterday. As Members will be aware, it is a long-established ruling of this House that members of the Judiciary are independent, by virtue of the Constitution, and may not be criticised or have their rulings referred to in the House, except on fo…

We move now to Deputy Bríd Smith who is sharing with Deputies Paul Murphy and Barry.

The Deputy has accused the Tánaiste of committing a crime. That is completely out of order. It is not acceptable in this forum in any circumstances and I think he should withdraw that statement.

We move on now to the Minister of State, Deputy Hildegarde Naughton, who is sharing with Deputy Joe McHugh and the Minister of State, Deputy Martin Heydon.

Deputy Canney is next and is sharing time with Deputies Tóibín and Fitzpatrick.

We move to Deputy Bruton, who is sharing time with Deputy Carroll MacNeill.

I wish to advise the House of the following matters in respect of which notice has been given under Standing Order 37 and the name of the Member in each case: (1) Deputy Kieran O'Donnell - to discuss plans to grant extra resources to An Garda Síochána to increase the provision of drug-driving testing; (2) Deputy Matt Carthy - to discuss issues with the payment of the pandemic employment payment due to errors in departmental records; (3) Deputy Gary Gannon - to discuss the impact of public transport reductions under…

Will the Deputy stick to the Topical Issue matter, please?

I thank the Minister, Deputy Eamon Ryan, for being here.

I thank the Minister. In light of the debate we have just had, I will take the unusual step of saying that I am refusing, unfortunately, an inordinate number of complaints from Deputies from all around the country about the service their constituents have received from Eir. If I did not have my own constituency experience, I would find that surprising. Eir's customer service is appalling and it raises profound questions about whether ComReg is doing its job.

Thank you, Minister.

The time is up. Thank you, Minister.
