I move: "That Deputy Harte be suspended from the service of the Dáil".
Suspension of Member.
Question put and declared carried.
Why are you selecting me for this treatment? You are treating this House as a joke. The nation is laughing at you. Your job is to protect Deputies and to protect minorities.
You will leave the House.
I will leave the House. As someone who has served the same length of time as you, I resent very much the treatment you have been giving me. I am entitled to the same protection as any other Deputy.
Leave the House.
Deputy Harte withdrew from the Chamber.
