Is the Bill opposed?
Since this is a Private Members' Bill, Second Stage must, under Standing Orders, be taken in Private Members' time.
We are.
I thank the Members. Before we proceed with the business, I wish to make a short statement. I wish to thank all who contributed to the motion today, including those who spoke against me, demonstrating their entitlement to free and orderly debate. It is regrettable the matter of speaking rights was unable to be resolved by consensus, despite 20 hours of full and frank discussion on the matter and my earnest efforts to…
I am loath to interrupt, but I believe relevance might be an issue with regard to the Estimates debate.
Okay.
I do not wish to interrupt, but I point to relevance. This is a debate about funding and the Estimates. The matter the Deputy is discussing should be brought to GSOC as opposed to the Minister at this point. I ask her to stick to the topic of Estimates and funding.
Yes, but there needs to be relevance to that funding and to the Estimates. To be fair, what you are discussing relates more to making complaints to GSOC.
If that is happening, then I ask the Deputy to stick to the debate. I do not believe it has relevance.
Thank you, Deputy.
I have reprimanded the Deputy's colleague Deputy Farrell on relevance. This is a debate about the Revised Estimates. If the Deputy is saying something about the Estimates and money, which are what the debate is actually about-----
He should please stick-----
The Deputy should preface his remarks with a reference to funding, because I am not hearing that his remarks are about the Revised Estimates.
And funding.
The context of funding.
In accordance with Standing Order 85(2), the division is postponed until the weekly division time on Wednesday, 2 April 2025.
I thank the Deputy.
I have allowed latitude.
I apologise, Deputy Ó Laoghaire, for keeping you longer.
Thank you, Tánaiste.
Are Deputies happy or does Deputy Heneghan wish to respond?
Question No. 138 is grouped with Question No. 161 but the other Deputy is not present.
If Deputies do not wish to ask a supplementary question, we will move to Deputy Ó Murchú's next question.
