On a point of order, a Phríomh-Leas-Cheann Comhairle.
Will you review the fact that the Minister called me "a child" today? That is the second time that he has done this: he referred to me not being "a grown-up" the last time that I asked him a question. Could he answer me in writing, because he did not answer my question?
