Thank you, Deputy.
The Minister of State will respond and then the Deputy can come back in.
Thank you, Minister of State. You can come back in.

Go raibh maith agat, a Aire Stáit.
No, the Minister of State is finished now.
Bogfaidh muid ar aghaidh go Ceist Uimh. 7 in ainm an Teachta O’Rourke.

Deputy Roderic O'Gorman - To discuss the increasing proces…
To be fair, we are way ahead of time, but I am going to let the other Deputies respond first and then let Deputy Rory Hearne in at the end. I call Deputy Geoghegan.
Thank you, Deputy.
The Minister of State's time is up. The Deputy has ten minutes. He can put it to him.
In accordance with Standing Order 85(2), the division is postponed until the weekly division time on Wednesday, 15 July 2026.
