I ask the Taoiseach to please give a brief answer to both questions.

Okay, that is fine.

We have a number of supplementary questions. Deputy Boyd Barrett is first.

I will let the Deputy's colleague in. I ask him to be brief for the Taoiseach to respond to all queries.

Do your best, Taoiseach.

When we start, it is a rotation and when we are out of time, we are out of time.

Taoiseach, unfortunately, we went over time on an earlier group of questions. There is an option to write to the Deputies.

Thank you, Taoiseach. We went over time on an earlier group and, unfortunately, the time available for this group was shorter. There is a maximum of 45 minutes for this session. Perhaps the Taoiseach will respond in writing. I will leave the matter with him.

Thank you, Deputy. I call Deputy Charles Ward.

Thank you.

I call Deputy Cathal Crowe and thank the Minister of State.

We will move to a Sinn Féin slot and to Deputy Marie Devine who is sharing with Deputy Ward.

Excuse me.

I thank the Deputy, and I caution him with regard to cases that will be coming before the courts.

It is just a caution. I call Deputy Michael Collins.

Thank you, Deputy.

Thank you Deputy.

Thank you Deputy. We will move back now to the Government.

Is that agreed? Agreed.

Amendments Nos. 1 and 2 have been ruled out of order.
