I will now put the question. The question is that the proposed arrangements-----

I cannot direct an answer.

I am putting the question that the Order of Business-----

I cannot direct an answer, as you are perfectly aware. You are delaying us. If you do not agree with the Order of Business, you can call a vote.

I know you did.

You are disrupting the House now.

Your question was not answered. I cannot direct an answer.

We will follow the rules. I will now put the question on the Order of Business. Are the proposed arrangements for the week's business hereby agreed to?

The arrangements are agreed.

We now move to Questions on Policy or Legislation. I will start with Deputy Mary Lou McDonald.

You did not call a vótáil.

Then we will have to go back and ask for a vote.

Will the Deputies allow me to proceed?

Before we take Questions on Policy and Legislation, I welcome the Active Retirement group from Midleton. I also welcome Cois na Coille Day Services, Ability West. I call Deputy McDonald.

Thank you, Deputy. The time is up.

Your time is up. Thank you, Deputy.

You are getting yourself in trouble, Taoiseach.

Thank you, Taoiseach.

Thank you, Deputy.

Thank you, Deputy. The Taoiseach is to respond. The Deputy's time is up.

Thank you, Taoiseach.

Thank you, Taoiseach. He will have to go back to the Deputy.

I call Deputy Catherine Callaghan.

The Deputy's time is up. The Taoiseach will resume his seat, his time is up.

Deputy Aird's time is up.
