The clock is not with you, Taoiseach. I call Deputy Heneghan.
We are nearly out of time. I ask Deputy McGrath to be as brief as he can.
A question please, Deputy.
I said briefly.
We have two groupings, the first is questions Nos. 1 to 20, inclusive. The Taoiseach will have three minutes and I propose that Deputies will have 30 seconds each in order to accommodate the 20 Deputies.
I am afraid I have to prepare on the basis that they will turn up. That is my job.
There are 20 questions and there are nine Members present. I will give them a minute each. They may risk not getting a fair answer if other Members join us.
You are still only getting a minute.
I call on Deputy Ó Murchú. I am sorry; I did not see Deputy McCormack.
We have to be fair to everybody. The Taoiseach, please.
In 50 years. I would like to commit, yes, but I think we will do it much sooner. There is huge investment going in. The delivery and upgrading continues apace.
On the issue raised by Deputy Conway-Walsh, I am not sure of the background as to why there are delays until 2031. The project is under way, I take it.
No, Deputy.
Taoiseach, there are two more Deputies and one minute.
Deputy Whitmore's question was next.
Deputy, we will be out of time.
We are out of time, Taoiseach.
Time, Taoiseach. We have to move on.
We will report further.
There are 17 Deputies and the best I can do is to give those here a minute each.
Deputy Devlin is next.
Deputy Devlin is on his feet.
Deputy Devlin.
Everybody needs an answer, so do not interrupt.
I do not care.
