John McGuinness

I thank the Deputy.

I thank the Deputy and ask him to conclude.

Please conclude, Deputy.

Before the Minister answers, for the benefit of the Deputy, when he is asked to conclude it is not a shouting match between both of us or an urgency for him to complete his question. It is to facilitate the Minister to answer. I am flexible in what we do but the Deputy went well over time.

I thank the Deputy. He is over time.

I can report to the Minister that details of so many games were replayed here in the Dáil during the week, it was like Croke Park at one stage.

Thanks, Deputy.

As important as it is, Deputy, it is not part of this debate.

Amendment No. 1 in the name of the Social Democrats cannot be moved.

I must now deal with a postponed division relating to the motion regarding parental choice in education. On Thursday, 8 May, on the question, "That the amendment to the motion be agreed to", a division was claimed and in accordance with Standing Order 85(2), that division must be taken now.

I must now deal with a postponed division relating to the motion regarding housing and critical infrastructure. On Tuesday, 13 May, on the question, "That the amendment to the motion be agreed to", a division was claimed and in accordance with Standing Order 85(2), that division must be taken now.

I must now deal with a deferred division relating to Second Stage of the Trade Union Recognition Bill 2021 taken today. On the question, "That the Bill be now read a Second Time", a division was claimed and in accordance with Standing Order 85(2) that division must be taken now.

We will have a minute's silence in memory of Garda Kevin Flatley.

Thank you, Taoiseach.

I ask the Taoiseach to conclude.

Thank you, Deputy

Please, Deputies.

I thank the Taoiseach.

Are the proposed arrangements for the business agreed?

The Whips can make a brief contribution.

Are the proposed arrangements agreed to? Not agreed.

I thank the Taoiseach.

I am sorry. A bit of order, please. We are moving on the next Member, Deputy Rice.

Please, Taoiseach.

I call Deputy Rice.
