I take your word that you did not hear the reference by the Minister for Transport and Power, but does that give the Minister a free licence when he so desires to use the name of a member of another parliament in a skittish and disrespectful manner?

I cannot take the Deputy's word as I did not hear the reference being made.
Will the Chair be good enough to inquire from the Minister if he used that word?
This is a matter for the Chair.

I am calling Question No. 35.
