I will call Deputy Pearse Doherty shortly. Would Senator Frances Black and Senator Lorraine Clifford-Lee mind if, following that, we then had the toilet break for ten minutes following which we will resume? By way of clarification for members, it was always my intention that we would break for ten minutes, which will bring us up to about 12 noon. When we resume, Senator Black and Senator Clifford-Lee will be the first speakers. I will then offer members the opportunity, and it is not obligatory that they take it - in fact, it would be great if some did not - to have a further five-minute bite, so to speak. I will call members in exactly the order in which they contributed in the first sequence as they indicated, and as I have personally noted them. That is how we will do our business. Members should remember that the five minutes will have to be strictly applied. It will be for the question and also the reply, following which we will thank our visitors and go into private session.
