Like many of the Deputy's ideas.
It is not a back-and-forth, Deputy.
Deputy, please. Taoiseach, proceed.
Neither is the Deputy.
I thank the Taoiseach. I call Deputy John McGuinness.
I thank the Deputy.
I thank the Deputy. I call Deputy Stanley.
The Deputy has gone way over time.
I would appreciate it if the Deputy kept his contribution relevant to the Bill.
Deputy-----
Committees have been set up. People are adjusting.
I appreciate that but the Deputy must move on to the debate.
I must now deal with a deferred division relating to the ministerial amendment to the Second Reading motion on the Broadcasting (Oversight of RTÉ Accounts) (Amendment) Bill 2024. On the question, "That the amendment to the motion be made", a division was claimed, and in accordance with Standing Order 85(2), that division must be taken now.
Yesterday a division was called on the question: "That leave to introduce the Bill be granted." That division will now be taken.
The Bill is accordingly introduced. Since this is a Private Members' Bill, Second Stage must, under Standing Orders, be taken in Private Members' time.
Restrictive Financial Measures (State of Israel) Bill 2025: Second Stage (Resumed) [Private Members]
I must now deal with a deferred division relating to the Second Reading motion on the Restrictive Financial Measures (State of Israel) Bill 2025. Yesterday, on the question, "That the Bill now be read a Second Time.", a division was claimed and that division must now be taken.
Are the proposed arrangements agreed to?
We will move to Questions on Policy or Legislation. We had 66 applicants, and 15 have been chosen. We do not have time to get everybody in. I ask everybody to stay within the time.
The Taoiseach to reply.
That is not good enough, Deputy. You are way over your time.
If Deputies are going to continue in this vein, at least three Deputies will not get in.
Please, Deputy McDonald.
Deputy, it is not a back and forth.
