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?
Since this is a Private Members' Bill, Second Stage must, under Standing Orders, be taken in Private Members' time.
Before the Taoiseach starts his reply, I welcome our new Senators who are on a tour of the House. I congratulate them and hope they enjoy proceedings. Seeing as the Taoiseach has so many questions to answer, I will be lenient and allow him six minutes to reply.
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.
In accordance with Standing Order 85(2), the division is postponed until the weekly division time on Wednesday, 19 February.
I wish to advise the House of the following matters in respect of which notice has been given under Standing Order 39 and the name of the Member in each case:
Deputy Pat Buckley - To discuss the ongoing health and safety crisis at Shandon Bells in Cork city.
Deputy Paul McAuliffe - To discuss the programme for Government commitment to extend the use of 2015 taxis.
Deputy Jennifer Whitmore - To discuss the roll-out…
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.
The Deputy is over time.
One of the Deputy's colleagues will miss out because he went 20 seconds over his time. It is a minute and a minute.
I thank the Tánaiste. I call Deputy Sherlock on behalf of the Labour Party.
I thank the Deputy. I call on the Tánaiste.
Lest anyone thinks that Deputy O'Flynn has swapped grouping, he has not; I made a mistake. It is now the turn of the Independent and Parties Technical Group and Deputy Brian Stanley.
Thank you, Deputy. You are in another Member’s time.
These allegations were made yesterday and I addressed them.
The Deputy cannot make an allegation against a Member of either House. It is to protect the Deputy as well as everybody.
This is not a playground.
