Deputy, wait for the answer.

Deputy, it is not a back-and-forth. He should listen to the answer, please.

Sorry, I am just going to say it once to be clear.

If the Taoiseach does not give the Deputy the answer he wants, that is not my problem.

This is not the way this forum, Taoiseach's Questions, is meant-----

Sorry, Deputy McDonald; you did not have a question.

As there are over 14 Deputies, we will take a minute at a time and see where we end up.

Actually, we only have eight minutes left. We will begin with Deputy O'Meara. I suggest 30 seconds but it is rather pointless.

Thank you Deputy.

Deputy John Connolly.

Thank you Deputy.

Deputy Ó Murchú.

Deputy Ó Murchú will be the last participant before the Taoiseach responds.

Do you understand the format, Deputy Coppinger?

No.

The point is made, thank you. The Taoiseach to respond.

Just before you raise a point of order, I do not have the remit in this case to extend Taoiseach's Questions.

How are-----

Sorry, Deputy. The Taoiseach to respond.

Take it to Dáil reform, please.

Deputy, there is no point of order.

There is no point of order, Deputy. The Taoiseach is going to respond.

The Taoiseach to respond. Deputy, please resume your seat.

No, there is no point of order. The clock is the clock. The Taoiseach to respond.

Deputy, please resume your seat. I understand. I said to take it to Dáil reform.
