Before we move on, I note that we have some students in the Gallery and it may be of note to them that we are dealing with statements on diverting young people from criminal activity. They may be able to read it on the board. Just in case they cannot, I draw their attention to it. The debate was adjourned yesterday and we are continuing with it today. It is an interesting topic for them.
I thank the Deputy. We will move to a Government slot, beginning with Deputy Brabazon.
Before I call Deputy Ó Muirí, I first welcome some visitors from County Wexford in the Visitors Gallery. We have Louise Byrne who is very used to youth work, and her brother Jude, who are here with their granny from County Mayo. They are very welcome and I hope they find this debate on how we can divert young people from criminal activity very interesting.
Before I move on - they may have left - I welcome Edna Craig, Maggie Kiernan and Emer Murray. We now move to Sinn Féin and begin with Deputy Devine.
I thank the Deputy.
I thank the Deputy.
I reiterate all of our sympathies in regard to Mick O'Dwyer's family. Ar dheis Dé go raibh a anam.

Deputy Michael Cahill - To discuss the need to provide a new maternity unit at University Hospital Kerry.
Deputy Paula Butterly - To discuss the establishment of the local community safety partnership.
Deputy Martin Daly - To discuss modern methods of constr…
In accordance with Standing Order 85(2), the division is deferred until the weekly division time this evening.
That completes Leader's Questions. Before we move on, I want to welcome all of those viewing proceedings from the Public Gallery, but particularly the students from my former secondary school, Ramsgrange Community School. I was not there too long.
I thank the Deputy.
Sorry, Deputy. It is not a back and forth.
Deputy Aird, this is not a back and forth.
As we are over time and as there are two remaining Members, namely Deputies Gogarty and Cummins, I intend to take both now, with the Taoiseach to respond to both simultaneously.
I thank the Minister of State.
The Minister of State can back come in again.
I thank the Deputy. He can come back in.
Are you happy, Deputy?
We have two supplementary questions.
You have me there, Deputy.
I call Deputy Nash for the Labour Party.
I am sure, but some Members are not present.
It will be taken at the end of the debate but the Deputy must move it now.
The Deputy will have an opportunity.
