Deputy, this is not a back and forth.
Sorry, there is a structure on this debate.
It is not allowed.
It is not a back and forth.
There are seven other Deputies, Taoiseach.
It is not a back and forth.
Seven other Deputies, Taoiseach.
Just to remind-----
Taoiseach, just to remind you there are seven other Deputies.
No, the next seven, including Deputy Boyd Barrett.
Please, Deputy.
Please, Deputy Murphy.
This is orchestrated. I ask you to stop interrupting.
Taoiseach, I do not know if you intend to take any other questions.
The Taoiseach has another 15 minutes. Did he answer Deputy McGuinness's question?
You did. I am sorry; I was distracted. I would like to welcome a member of the Down's syndrome community, Declan Moran, who is here with Deputy Albert Dolan. You are very welcome, Declan.
We have 15 to 16 minutes left. There are 20 Deputies to speak on the next question. I propose to divide the time remaining after the Taoiseach's opening statement between a number of Deputies.
The Taoiseach will have to try to be brief.
I propose to take the first six Deputies and to allow the Taoiseach six minutes to respond.
I appreciate that. The Taoiseach has the message.
Before the Taoiseach replies, could he maybe answer the other Deputies in writing? Sixteen Deputies did not get to ask questions. They might get some form of response from the Taoiseach.
Only if the Taoiseach needs less time. We cannot go over the 45 minutes provided.
I am bound by the timelines set down.
Yes.
