I call the Minister to respond.

Deputy Healy-Rae, your time has expired, and I will just move on if you do not allow the Minister to respond.

Thank you, Deputy Healy-Rae.

I thank the Deputy and ask him to conclude.

Did the Deputy ask for forbearance? He is 28 seconds over his allotted time.

I thank the Deputy and call the Minister.

On behalf of Deputy O'Flynn, I welcome the Howard family to the Public Gallery. I hope they enjoy their time in Leinster House. They are very welcome.

Stop, please. Allow the Minister.
