There were 80 submissions and 30 were chosen. If you cannot ask your question within the one-minute timeframe, do not ask for a slot in Questions on Policy or Legislation.

Do not interrupt again.

Deputy, if you interrupt again, I will cease the answer.

Deputy Ó Laoghaire, respect the Chair.

We are out of time, but I propose to take the two remaining speakers offering. They will have 30 seconds each.

We appreciate that, Deputy, but this is for statements, not questions.

Deputy, I am sorry. I cannot permit you to ask a question; I can permit you to continue with your statement.

You may, Deputy.
