I welcome Mr. McKeon and his colleagues. I accept that the Secretary General and Accounting Officer is dealing with four chapters from the Comptroller and Auditor General's report and the appropriation accounts but the reason we seek supporting documentation in advance of an Accounting Officer coming in is to avoid lengthy opening statements. We have a voting block at 12.50 p.m. I do not suggest it is the case here but there is sometimes a perception that Accounting Officers give lengthy statements to talk down the clock. It does not work because we can stay here for as long as we need to. I do not suggest that was the case this time. We will not even get to one of the issues because there is a large amount.

Am I right in saying that the PRSI contributions by the self-employed and rent supplement are best dealt with in the afternoon-----
