This is a very important issue. I thank everybody - members and non-members - for attending. The custom and practice is that we will take contributions from members first and then from non-members. Everybody is fully entitled to speak. If it is in order, and I do not wish to impose any time limit on anybody, would everyone be happy with six, seven or eight minutes? We can then come back for a second round. Is that acceptable? Okay. I call Senator Ó Mathúna.
