You no longer have the floor, Taoiseach.

Your time is up.

I call Deputy Ivana Bacik of the Labour Party.

We have rules and I expect both sides-----

-----of the House to abide them, particularly as regards timing.

I appreciate that no interruption should be occurring. I have asked those on both sides of the House to please show decorum.

Thank you, Deputy.

The Deputy's time is up.

The Taoiseach's time is up.

Deputy, please.

Thank you, Deputy.

Deputy, your time is up.

The Taoiseach to respond, please.

I thank the Deputy.

I thank the Deputy. I call the Taoiseach.

Please, Deputy. I ask the Taoiseach to stand up. I thank the Deputy.

Deputy, the time is up.

I ask the Deputy to resume his seat and the Taoiseach to answer the question. We are way over time.

No, Deputy, resume your seat.

Deputy Healy-Rae-----

Deputy, please.

That is all right. Deputy, you do what you like.

We move now to Questions on Policy or Legislation. I ask again that all Deputies be respectful or some people will be left out. There were 67 applicants and 18 were chosen. We do not have enough time to take 18, so please be respectful. I call Deputy McDonald.

Deputy, please.

Please, Deputies.
