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.

Do Deputies wish to listen to the answer out of respect for the functions-----
If the Deputies listen-----
Deputies, please. The Taoiseach is speaking. Did Deputies not notice? A question was asked.
He is. The Deputy might not-----
Deputies, I am standing. I expect that you will respect the Chair. We are in a democratic House. This is Leaders' Questions.
Deputies, whether you like what is being said or not, please listen. That is the process.
We have a lot of visitors in the Gallery. The public are watching. I am asking you all to have respect for one another, one and all. That is all I am asking for on behalf of those who are watching.
Deputies, while you may not have respect for me, I am the Chair. When I speak, nobody else speaks.
Deputies, I am asking that you respect the process and the operation of the House.
That means that when I speak, I ask you to have respect for the Chair. That decision has been made and it is well gone. We are in the democratic process of where we are on a different matter today. I ask Deputy McDonald to respond.
Deputies, resume your seats when the Ceann Comhairle is standing. We have spent hours. I have invested as much as 20 hours over the past months trying to come to a consensus and an agreement.
Unfortunately, we have reached an impasse.
I expect respect, Deputy, so that I can finish what I am saying.
