I thank the Deputy.

I call on the Taoiseach to respond.

The Deputy’s time is up.

The Taoiseach’s time is up.

Fair hearing, Taoiseach.

I thank the Taoiseach. I call Deputy Bacik.

The Taoiseach will now respond. The Deputy's time is up.

The Taoiseach to respond, please.

Please. Allow the answer.

Allow the answer.

Deputy, please.

Deputies, if you do not listen, the Taoiseach is entitled to resume his seat. I call Deputy Stanley.

Sorry, Taoiseach, excuse me.

No, you will not, Deputy.

Excuse me. It does not work like that, Taoiseach. You may further engage outside this forum.

Yes, through the Chair.

You do not expect the Deputy to answer you. You can further engage. He can ask a question, absolutely.

Yes, but do not give the answer here. You may need further engagement.

That is enough, Deputy.

Please, Deputy. The Taoiseach will finish his response without interruption.

Yes, you are. It is Deputy O’Donoghue who is not entitled to answer it.

Deputy, resume your seat.

Deputy, resume your seat.

Resume your seat.

That is the end of Leaders’ Questions. The Deputy does not wish to hear the response.
