Question declared carried.

On a point of order, could the Tánaiste explain to the House why so many of the Deputies who should have been sitting behind her——-

Deputy, that is not a point of order.

——have so little confidence in this Government's economic policy——

Deputy, resume your seat.

——-that they deserted the House during a crucial vote?

We did not get rid of them like the Deputy's party did.

Deputy, resume your seat.

Deputy Shatter's party ran them out.
