Deputy, please.

Time is up, Taoiseach; there is no point.

I call Deputy Bacik.

Taoiseach, your time is up. They do not want to listen. They did not allow you to speak.

Deputies did not allow the answer.

There is fairness.

If they are not prepared to answer within the time, they are not prepared to listen, Taoiseach, in the same way they do not accept. Will Deputy Bacik please ask her question?

I thank the Taoiseach.

Deputy, you will be coming back in.

The Deputy needs to be quiet.

It is a leader's question to another leader.

One voice.

Allow the Tánaiste to speak.

Deputy McDonald will have an opportunity to speak.

I will have to stop the clock.

It is not a debate.

I ask for discourse to allow the speech to continue.

The Deputy's time is up.

Please, Minister.

Thank you, Minister of State.

I am afraid we are out of time. The cut-off point is 9.17 p.m. That means we stand adjourned until 10.23 a.m. tomorrow.

I now call from the Opposition Sinn Féin's Minister for-----

Deputy Pearse Doherty.

Deputy-----

We are not canvassing, Deputy.
