The Taoiseach has half a minute. Deputy Murphy took the Taoiseach's time.

I think we should respect the time of the House.

If Deputies would let me ask the question first. Are the proposed arrangements for the week's business agreed to?

The Deputy's time is up.

Maybe answer the questions.

Are the proposed arrangements agreed to?

Deputy, stick to your time.

Please stick to your times, Members. Members will lose out otherwise. We have 20 minutes and 15 Members listed.

Thank you, Deputy. Your time is up. You are taking someone else's time.

We have three Deputies still to contribute but we are going to be out of time. I will allow Deputies Sherlock, Hearne and McGrath 30 seconds each and 30 seconds for the Taoiseach to respond.

Does Deputy Hearne have a question?

Thank you, Taoiseach. Deputy McGrath has 30 seconds.

Does the Deputy have a question?

Thank you, Deputy. Leave your colleagues time.

Thank you, Deputy. I know you were left a few seconds short thanks to Martin.

We can make that available.

It will be made available to the Deputy by email later.

I thank the Tánaiste. We move to Labour Group leader, Deputy Bacik.

Thank you, Deputy.

I thank the Tánaiste. We move now to Aontú and Deputy Tóibín.

I reiterate that Deputies should stick to their allocated times. If they do not do so, it will have an impact on later speakers.
