Question declared carried.

An Ceann Comhairle

Deputy Larkin will now withdraw from the House.

Mr. Larkin (Junior)

You can claim credit for another execution, even though it is a small one.

Deputy Larkin withdrew.

Mr. Finucane

I insist on the right to raise this matter on the Adjournment. I know that Kerins did not get a fair trial.

An Ceann Comhairle

The Deputy seems to demand his own suspension.

An Ceann Comhairle

Then I am constrained to name the Deputy unless he withdraws at once.

Mr. Finucane

Well, I will not withdraw. I know he did not get a fair trial.

Mr. Flanagan

He is not the first innocent man who was hanged.

The Taoiseach

I move:—

That Deputy Finucane be suspended from the service of the Dáil.

Question declared carried.

An Ceann Comhairle

Deputy Finucane will now withdraw from the House.

Mr. Finucane

There will be another day. I challenge any of the Fianna Fáil Deputies to stand on the Kerins case in Kerry.

Deputy Finucane withdrew.

Mr. Spring

I agree with the man who has left the House. I know I will get plenty of interruptions from the Fianna Fáil Benches, but we are entitled to move this matter on the Adjournment to-night.

An Ceann Comhairle

The Deputy has no right to intervene now.

Mr. Spring

I stated last night, and I still state, that this young person did not get a fair trial.

This man is lying in Mountjoy awaiting execution in the morning. We have no one to blame only the Taoiseach. I can certainly say the Taoiseach or any of his Ministers will not be too willing to address a meeting in Kerry in the near future.
