I thank the Deputy.
The Deputy's time is up. Deputy McGrath is next.
No, we have other Members. Deputy Healy-Rae is only one of the "other Members". He has used up two and a half minutes of his time.
That is not the way it works.
I call Deputy Mattie McGrath, but I will give Deputy Healy-Rae 30 seconds to finalise his points, seeing as he was caught off-guard.
I thank the Deputy.
It has been a positive debate. I also welcome the extended Doran family, whom I was not expecting to see in the Gallery, particularly with the Minister, Deputy Burke. They are more than welcome. I hope they are having a good evening.
I must now deal with a postponed division relating to Second Stage of the Health (Waiting Lists) Bill 2024, taken on Thursday, 11 December 2025. 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.
I must now deal with a postponed division relating to the motion regarding restoration of Private Members’ Bill to the Order Paper. On Tuesday, 16 December 2025, on the question, "That 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 Second Stage of the Animal Health and Welfare (Ban on Fox Hunting) Bill 2025, taken on Wednesday, 17 December 2025. 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.
Before proceeding to Leaders' Questions we will have a minute's silence in memory of the late little Tadhg Farrell and the late Mary Holt, who died in Edenderry on 6 December.
One voice.
Thank you, Taoiseach.
I thank the Taoiseach. Time is up.
Thank you, Deputy.
The Taoiseach to respond.
Deputy Mac Lochlainn, this is not your question.
Are the arrangements agreed to? They are not agreed.
I am calling on Deputies in the order they raise their hands.
I call Deputy Mac Lochlainn. I thank Deputy Collins.
Are the proposed arrangements for this week's business agreed to?
We move now to Questions on Policy or Legislation.
The Deputy is way over time. The Taoiseach to respond.
Time is up, Taoiseach.
