Thank you, Deputy.

I will send Deputy Doherty the official record and I will review it post sitting today.

Yes, I will Deputy. We move to Government business, statements post-European Council meeting of 20-21 March 2025, pursuant to Standing Order 113.

I call the Taoiseach to make his opening statement under Standing Order 113. He has 15 minutes.

We will get a copy. It is arriving now.

I call Deputy Duncan Stewart. The Deputy should please excuse me.

We will ask the Clerk to provide a copy.

We will get an usher to provide a copy.

An usher has gone to get a set of amendments. He has them now and I thank him.

Amendment No. 1 has been ruled out of order.

I thank the Deputy. Does Minister wish to respond?

Amendment No. 3 is out of order.

Amendments Nos. 5 and 6, in the names of Deputies Ó Snodaigh, McGuinness and Connolly, are related and will be discussed together.

Are you withdrawing amendments Nos. 5 and 6?

My apologies, a Theachta Ó Snodaigh, but we need to adjourn.
