The Deputy has to correspond differently.
The Deputy can write to the Taoiseach.
Thank you, Deputy. Time is up.
The Taoiseach to respond.
Interruptions mean other Deputies are deprived.
Deputy Malcolm Byrne is on his feet.
A glowing reference.
An bhfuiltear ag cur in aghaidh an Bhille?
Iarraim ar dhuine de na Teachtaí tairiscint a dhéanamh go dtógfar an Dara Chéim in am Comhaltaí Príobháideacha.
Although it is not a point of order, I will address it. I thank the Deputy.
Before I go to Deputy Ward, I welcome to the Gallery, on behalf of the Minister of State, Deputy Harkin, a group from the North Leitrim Women's Centre and the representatives of Diffreen National School in County Leitrim. Both groups are most welcome, as is the Minister of State. I call Deputy Ward.
I accept the Deputy's point of order. The quorum is established once we resume in session. It does not have to continue at all times in the Chamber but I appreciate the point of order and I know there are no other Deputies present.
Minister, I hate to interrupt but is your statement ready to be distributed?
Okay. We will have to continue on that basis.
The Select Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure, Public Service Reform and Digitalisation, and Taoiseach has completed its considerations of the following Revised Estimates for Public Services for the service of the year ending on 31 December 2026: Vote 7 - Finance; Vote 8 - Comptroller and Auditor General; Vote 9 - Revenue Commissioners; and Vote 10 - Tax Appeals Commission.
As there are no further speakers, I now move to the Minister of State for her concluding statement.
I must now deal with a deferred division relating to the ministerial amendment to the Second Reading motion on the Online Safety (Recommender Algorithms) Bill 2026. On the question, "That the amendment to the motion be made", a division was claimed, and in accordance with Standing Order 85(2), that division must be taken now.
The Deputy's party leader will respond.
Before Deputy McDonald resumes, I am sure that she, as the leader, is capable of answering during Leaders' Questions.
If we are to make progress here today, we need co-operation from both sides of the House, with Members' to speak without interruption.
Deputy Bacik has the floor please.
Thank you, Deputy Bacik. Will the Taoiseach respond?
Thank you, Deputy Bacik. Please, Deputies.
Deputy, that is not allowed.
Now it is your time, Deputy Tóibín.
