It is not your fault, Taoiseach.

That is the point.

Excuse me.

My intervention is that the answer-----

They have a timeframe-----

Excuse me, Deputy. There is a timeframe in which the Taoiseach can provide the answer.

If they choose not to listen, it is kind of pointless asking the question. The reality is that everybody should be afforded the opportunity, as Deputy McDonald was by her colleagues, to ask a question.

I would expect-----

I am speaking, Deputy.

I am speaking, Deputy, so I would expect that you stop speaking when I speak. What I am asking is that everybody afford each other the same level of respect. In that way the House will operate with decorum. I call Deputy Bacik.

Thank you, Deputy. I call the Taoiseach.

Deputy, allow the Taoiseach to answer.

That was not a question for answer.

I thank the Taoiseach.

Just before moving on-----

That might be what I am about to do.

No, but the Taoiseach can work away there.

Very good. Only secondary to Aaron, with the liberty of the Deputies, I welcome Gaelscoil Chaladh an Treoigh from Limerick, including a grand-daughter of former Deputy, Éamon Ó Cuív, who is also present, who is in sixth class in the school. We welcome them all. We will move on to Questions on Policy or Legislation.

I thank the Deputy and call on the Taoiseach to respond.

I thank Deputy McDonald. I call on the Taoiseach.

I thank the Deputy.

I thank the Deputy and I call the Taoiseach.

I thank the Deputy. I call on the Taoiseach to respond.

I thank the Deputy. The time is up. I call on the Taoiseach to respond.

I thank the Deputy. His time is way over.
