Vol. 380 No. 7

Suspension of Member.

I move:

"That Deputy Molloy be suspended from the service of the Dail."

It is a disgrace for this to be done.

Deputy O'Malley, how dare you challenge my ruling.

I think it is a disgrace.

A disgrace to deal with gross disorder?

A Cheann Comhairle——

The Deputy will leave the House.

Leave the House, Deputy.

The Fianna Fáil Party want to throw me out, denying the House the opportunity to debate a matter that has been discussed every night of the week——

(Interruptions.)

Leave the House, Deputy.

Deputy Molloy withdrew from the Chamber.

(Interruptions.)

Deputy Gallagher made a mess of Fisheries.

Order, please.

I wish to raise on the Adjournment the urgent need for the Minister for Industry and Commerce to take immediate action to prevent the threatened closure of Foxford Woollen Mills, County Mayo, one of our traditional and prestigious industries.

I will communicate with the Deputy.

When will the Taoiseach announce the Cabinet decision to overfly Shannon——

The Deputy should use the proper procedures of the House to deal with the matter.

I wish to raise this matter on the Adjournment.

I will communicate with the Deputy.

I wish to raise on the Adjournment the recent decision of the Minister for Industry and Commerce to extend the designated areas to include Wexford, Wicklow and Offaly and to exclude County Laois. Do the Government regard County Laois as being a more advantaged area than the eastern area of County Louth——

I will communicate with the Deputy.
