I want to let the whole of the Irish Republic know——
Would Deputy Coughlan please leave the House?
——that the Taoiseach has refused just debate in this House because of his fear and his co-operation with Chichester Clark——
You refused to join the Fianna in Limerick when you were asked to.
(Interruptions.)
I would ask the Captain of the Guard to escort Deputy Coughlan from the Chamber.
(Interruptions.)
Order.
This will lead to civil war and more executions. We shall be back.
The Captain of the Guard escorted Deputy Coughlan from the Chamber.
No. 22— Finance (No. 2) Bill, 1970 (resumed).
On a point of order——
A Cheann Comhairle, your scandalous ruling that this is not a matter of urgent public importance is probably the most scandalous ruling ever made in a sovereign, democratic State. Is it not a matter of urgent public importance——
Deputies
Chair, Chair.
Would the Deputy allow me one moment?
(Interruptions.)
In view of the persistent and grave disorder, I am adjourning the House until 10.30 tomorrow morning.
