Thank you, Deputy O'Brien. Deputy Clare Daly is next, followed by Deputy Alan Farrell. On returning to both the Tánaiste and Deputy Jim O'Callaghan, there will obviously be the temptation, on the part of the Tánaiste, to focus on Deputy O'Callaghan's presentation and vice versa. In that context, could we take the questions from the three Deputies together and then open up into a more substantive response from both the Tánaiste and Deputy O'Callaghan? Is that agreed? Agreed.

I ask the Tánaiste and Deputy O'Callaghan to note the critical points already made by Deputy O'Brien and those to be made by Deputy Clare Daly and Deputy Alan Farrell and then to respond to them collectively, as well as to each other, as they deem appropriate.
