Thank you. We move to the technical group convened by Deputy Michael Collins.

That concludes the contributions on the nomination of Taoiseach.

I must inform Members that it has been agreed with the Whips and the conveners that we will now have contributions from parties and proposed technical groups with an agreed allocation of time for each party and group. I take the opportunity to say to Members that time is time. If you are sharing time and you go over your time, you will eat into your colleagues' time. That is how we propose to carr…

Thank you, so it is An Tánaiste.

It is a 15-minute speech.

I apologise to the Regional Group. There was a problem with the rotation; that group should have been first. The Regional Group, convened by Deputy Lowry, has speakers Deputies Harkin and Toole, who have six minutes.

We now move to the technical group convened by Deputy Michael Collins. It has six minutes shared between Deputies Richard O'Donoghue, Michael Healy-Rae, O'Flynn, Gogarty and Danny Healy-Rae.

I call Deputy Paul Gogarty.

We now move to the topic of the adjournment of the Dáil. The House must now decide when it will next sit. Accordingly, I call the Government Chief Whip, Deputy Naughton, to make a proposal on the adjournment of the House.

Is that agreed?

I propose to take one minute from each Deputy who raises their hand.
