I also welcome Jordan and Cian and their family and thank them for coming to tell us their family's story. They have been an inspiration country-wide. While that concludes the statements, I think I say on behalf of all Members that it does only that. Jordan and Cian and their family have left a lasting impression on the Members of Dáil Éireann.

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 Shane Moynihan - To discuss provision of a new school building at Scoil Chrónáin.

No rhetorical questions.

It is the background noise. The Deputy is being interrupted. Please, go ahead.

Thank you, Taoiseach. I call Deputy Gogarty.

I am not making it up either. The rules are the rules. Stop interrupting.

Your time is up, a Thaoisigh.

There should be no rhetorical questions.
