The Deputy and Taoiseach may correspond further, should they wish.
Given the week that is in it, I welcome a special group from Waterford, namely, the Waterford ladies from the Waterford Farm Family. They are most welcome.
I ask the Chief Whip, Deputy Butler, to move the motion.
As there are 25 Deputies, there will be 30 seconds each. If Members do not turn up, we will take a second round.
Your time is up Deputy.
I know but there are 25 Members.
Finish the question.
Thank you, Deputy. Deputy O'Gorman please.
Please stop the clock for a moment. Deputies, I am not trying to be difficult. We have 17 minutes. Deputies may turn up. I can give you an opportunity to pose your question in 30 seconds and come in a second time if Deputies do not turn up. If I take everybody at a minute, you will get no response and we will only get one question in. I am in your hands. I am saying 30 seconds, so that you can prepare. I do not choos…
No, because we will not get an answer. Do you want an answer?
We are not. I have stopped the clock. I cannot have people choosing to take a minute if we are agreeing 30 seconds, with the opportunity for everybody and a response. Can we say 30 seconds?
Go ahead. Start the clock again.
We are out of time. The Taoiseach seemed to miss Deputy O'Gorman's question.
You did.
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 Rory Hearne - to discuss funding and support for Finglas West Family Resource Centre.
Deputy Sorca Clarke - to discuss overcrowding issues for local transport services for students.
Deputy Louise O'Reilly - to discuss the location of electric vehicle,…
Before the Minister of State takes to his feet I welcome students from St. Louis Community School, Mayo, who are here with Deputy Lawless. I hope you are finding our disability access is in order. We would appreciate feedback. Thank you very much. I am not sure which school the other students are from but they are also most welcome. Take care.
I call the Minister of State.
That concludes the Topical Issue Debate. I believe the students are actually all from St. Louis Community School. Very good. I hope you enjoyed that. Take care and enjoy the rest of your tour.
Before the Minister takes to his feet, I welcome everybody in the Gallery this afternoon. There is a large contingent from Cork with Deputy Pádraig O'Sullivan.
I know it was said in jest, Deputy Ó Murchú, but any type of reference that incurs or could incite violence is not acceptable.
In accordance with Standing Order 85(2), the division is postponed until the next weekly division time.
I welcome those in the Gallery who are visiting.
Thank you, Taoiseach.
Deputy McDonald can come back in.
Time is up, Deputy.
An Taoiseach to respond, please.
