Thank you, Deputy.
Thank you, Deputy.
Thank you, Deputy.
Deputy, thank you.
The Minister to reply.
We move on. Deputy Aird is up again for Question No. 41. Or is that the same question?
That question has been dealt with. We will take Question No. 72 as Deputy Ó Snodaigh is here and there is nobody else. He probably did not think we would get to that question.
I am going to make a ruling. To be fair to everyone, I am going to take people's questions in the order they came to the Chamber. There is only time left for three questions. I will call Deputies Malcolm Byrne, Brendan Smith and then Ruairí Ó Murchú.
We will take a supplementary from Deputy Brennan on this.
As agreed, we will go back to Question No. 14 for Deputy Ó Murchú.
I ask the Deputies to allow the Tánaiste to answer.
Question No. 3 in the name of Deputy Seán Crowe is being taken by Deputy Ó Laoghaire.
The next question is a grouped question and we will not have time for it so we will move on to questions to the Minister for Climate, Energy and the Environment.
Deputy Pa Daly is not here so we will move on to Question No. 78. I call on Deputy Ahern.
No.
I call the Minister to make his concluding statement.
Seanad Éireann has passed the Housing Finance Agency (Amendment) Bill 2025, without amendment.
Yes. He is subbing for the Deputy.
