When Deputy Ó Murchú flatters me, I should be very worried.

Deputy Stanley is on his feet.
Seanad Éireann has passed the Health (Provision of Contraception Prescribing Service in Retail Pharmacy Businesses) Bill 2026, without amendment.
Seanad Éireann has passed the Development (Strategic Gas Reserve) Bill 2026, without amendment.
I wish to advise the House of the following matters in respect of which notice has been given under Standing Order 39 and the name of the Member in each case:
Deputies Ciarán Ahern, Seán Crowe, Paul Murphy, Aengus Ó Snodaigh, James Geoghegan and John Lahart - to discuss the feasibility of continuing MetroLink from the city to south-west Dublin.
Deputy Tom Brabazon - to discuss the proposed new Garda station at Nort…
That concludes statements on the fiscal implications of a united Ireland. This was a very interesting, cohesive debate.
The format is that the first four Deputies will take a minute each. The Minister of State has four minutes to respond. We will then take another Deputy and the Minister of State can respond to them.
I thank the Minister of State.
Deputy Lahart is on his own, so he can take the two minutes for his other colleague also.
I appreciate that.
The Minister of State might be like the Pope and get rid of limbo.
The Deputy has a tone of severe frustration.
Many happy returns for a successful and fruitful recess. Thank you.
I call Deputy Sherlock. The Government has indicated that it is opposing the Second Reading of the Bill.
Thank you very much, Deputy, and the same to you.
Thank you, Deputy Ward. I look forward to seeing you in September.
That is much appreciated, and by the staff too. I call Deputy McAuliffe.
Much appreciated.
Gabhaim buíochas leis an Teachta. That is very much appreciated. However, there remains a question.
As the Deputy knows, the division will be taken after the recess in September.
Agus téarma reatha na Dála ag teacht chun críche, agus sinn ag díriú ar thús an tsamhraidh, táim buíoch do gach Teachta as a gcomhoibriú. Thar ceann na Comhaltaí go léir, gabhaim buíochas le Elaine Gunn agus lena foireann as a dtacaíocht agus an obair mhór a rinne siad. Gabhaim buíochas freisin le m’fhoireann i gContae Loch Garman as an tacaíocht luachmhar a thug siad dom. Cé nach mbeidh an Dáil ina shuí, tá a fhios …
Do not interrupt, please.
Through the Chair, please.
Allow the contribution, Deputy.
Deputy Bennett, you are out of order. I ask Deputies to stop interrupting. Allow the closing speech.
Before we move on, I ask for all your co-operation with the direction of the Chair to get through the amount of business we have. I welcome all the Members in the Gallery.
