No, the time for members' questions has been exceeded. I apologise to members who cannot get in but the 70 minutes are up. I now wish to turn to the time allocated for non-members. Although ten people have indicated, because of the time allowed not all ten will get in and consequently, I apologise again. However, I ask people to be brief in the questions, rather than giving full exposure to their views. Deputies Terence Flanagan, Mathews, Durkan and Creed, in that order, will be the first four questioners.
