Before I move on, Deputy Richard O'Donoghue would like to welcome TY students and teachers from St. Mary's Secondary School in Charleville, County Cork. The students include students from Limerick, Cork, India and Ukraine. I make special mention to the Deputy's niece, Eimear. Eimear O'Donoghue is also the Deputy's godchild. It is going to be an expensive day for Deputy O'Donoghue. Thank you for attending Leinster Hou…
Is the Bill being opposed?
We just cannot have this, Deputy Murphy.
We cannot have this interaction.
Deputy Murphy made his point already.
We are not doing this, Deputy Murphy. We are not doing this.
There are other Members to be regarded.
Allow the Taoiseach to answer.
Absolutely not, Deputy. The Deputy has to take the answer.
Deputy, no.
If the Deputy needs to raise a Topical Issue, she can put one down. This is not a back and forth.
No. If the Deputy is not happy with the answer, put down-----
Deputy Tóibín, you know you are wrong.
I am asking the Deputy to stop addressing the Taoiseach until he finishes his answers,
The Deputy might not like the answer but it is the Taoiseach's answer. Do not interject again, please.
Deputy, please have respect for the other Members.
That is it, Taoiseach. We move to questions Nos. 12 to 28, inclusive. With 16 Members and a remaining 18 and a half minutes, it is highly unlikely we will get to the third group of questions. I ask Members to be brief.
There are 12 Deputies present. They will have 30 seconds each, which means there will be six minutes for questions and six minutes for a response. That is as fair as I can be.
Finally, Deputy Conor D. McGuinness.
Taoiseach, the floor is yours for five minutes.
Do not interrupt.
No, Deputy Tóibín, do not even dare.
Deputy Tóibín will have to look for it afterwards.
Do not even think about it.
