We will move on to Questions on Policy or Legislation. We had 74 applicants out of which 15 have been chosen. I doubt very much we will get through the 15 which means some may be left out.

Taoiseach, your time is up.

See what happens, Deputy.

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

The time is up, Taoiseach.

I thank the Taoiseach. Deputy Michael Collins is next.

I call Deputy Michael Collins.

I thank the Taoiseach.

I thank the Taoiseach. We are out of time.

We have one Deputy left to speak. I call Deputy Brian Brennan.

Will Deputy Brian Brennan be as brief as possible as we are out of time?

Is the Bill opposed?

Well done, Deputy.

Since this is a Private Members' Bill, Second Stage must, under Standing Orders, be taken in Private Members' time.

There are 12 questions from Deputies. We will take them in order. Question No. 1 is from Deputy Tom Brabazon.

We have a minute each. I call Deputy Ivana Bacik.
