I thank the Taoiseach. Before I call the Tánaiste, I ask my colleagues to join me in congratulating the Tánaiste and his family on his latest addition. I am sure this is not the most flexible job in those circumstances but congratulations.

Before I call on the Minister of State, I welcome the guests of Deputy Heneghan who are here from Australia and north Dublin. I am not sure if the Government and Parliament in Canberra have ever been as exciting as ours.
Deputy, please. No interruptions.
It is now Deputy McGuinness's turn.
We will stay on time. Deputy Ward is next.
Deputy McGuinness-----
Deputy McGuinness is free to leave. This debate will finish on time. I call Deputy McAuliffe.
I thank the Deputy and call Deputy Murphy.
I know but the Deputy has had eight and a half minutes but I gave him the benefit of the extra time.
Thank you, Deputy.
The Deputy's time is up.
Deputy Lawless is next.
Deputy Lawless is on his feet. Abide by your time slots, please.
I thank Deputy Healy-Rae.
Everybody else had their time. I thank Deputy Danny Healy-Rae. I thank the Members.
Financial Resolutions No. 5 to 7, inclusive, will be discussed together.
I thank the Minister. I have 14 Deputies listed to speak in the next 37 minutes. I propose they speak for around two minutes each, starting with Deputy Cullinane and his amendments.
I may have heard some unparliamentary language-----
I may have misheard but I thought the Deputy used unparliamentary language-----
I call on Deputy Danny Healy-Rae. We have seven Deputies left. Please refrain from such language.
I am afraid we are out of time.
I must now put the following question in accordance with the order of the Dáil-----
Yes.
I am informed that we are procedurally correct. However, legally, I am going to pass it over to the Minister.
I must now put the question.
