Tellers: Tá, Deputies J. Higgins and Bell; Níl, Deputies Keogh and M. McDowell.
Question declared carried.
The Deputy will now leave the House in conformity with the wishes of the House.
Deputy O'Donnell withdrew from the Chamber.
It is a shame that a Deputy should be denied an opportunity of making a point of order. It is a poor reflection on a Taoiseach who promised so much.
What has a point of order to do with the Taoiseach?
Will the Taoiseach and the Attorney General take responsibility for this debacle?
