Please, Deputy Ó Laoghaire.

The Minister should continue.

We must move on to the next question.

I thank the Minister.

Deputy Callaghan is taking Question No. 122 on behalf of Deputy Barry Ward.

Thank you, Minister.

I call Deputy Callaghan.

I ask the Minister to keep an eye on the time.

I am trying to get in as many questions as I can. I do not want to be setting a bad example by allowing people to go over their time slots. That is why I had to ring the bell. I thought the Minister was completely ignoring me.

Question No. 123 is in the name of Deputy Ó Snodaigh. I understand Deputy Ó Laoghaire is taking it.

A welcome apology.

If the Minister of State, Deputy Byrne, does not mind - would Members please allow the Minister of State to finish and stop cutting in on him so that we can do our business properly? I am going to conclude.

Deputy Newsome Drennan should allow the Tánaiste to speak.

Deputy McDonald, allow the Tánaiste to answer.

Allow the Tánaiste to conclude.

I call Deputy O'Callaghan.

Deputy Gould, Deputy O'Callaghan is next.

Thank you, Deputy.

The Deputy should conclude.

The Deputy should conclude.

The Deputy should conclude.

Deputy, please allow the Tánaiste to reply.

Deputy Whitmore-----

The Tánaiste to conclude.

Thank you. We will move to the next question in the name of Deputy Conway-Walsh.
