Thank you, Taoiseach.

We now move to Questions on Policy or Legislation. We had 69 applicants, of which 18 were chosen. I ask all Deputies to co-operate on time or we will have to decline some Deputies the opportunity to speak.

Thank you, Deputy.

Thank you, Deputy. Your time is up.

Please.

Thank you, Taoiseach.

Time is up. I call Deputy Ivana Bacik.

Thank you, Deputy.

It is not a back and forth, Deputy.

Deputy, please stick to your time. I call the Taoiseach.

I thank the Taoiseach. I ask Members to welcome pupils from Kilrane National School who are members of the Blue Star programme. They are here in the Public Gallery today. We missed a few of them. Welcome everybody.

Taoiseach, they brought some strawberries from Danescastle that I might share.

In Wexford, yes. I call Deputy Catherine Callaghan.

The Deputy can go back to the Taoiseach if she is not happy.

Two Deputies are left. We are out of time. I will ask the Deputies to briefly state their questions. We will have a combined response from the Taoiseach.

The Deputy might need to engage further.

Thank you, Deputy Stanley.

I call Deputy Catherine Connolly.
