On workload, reference was made to 300 Private Members' Bills coming through since 2016, the increased pace and an extensive legislative programme. In bedding this down for the future, do the witnesses consider this to be just a blip in terms of a minority Government or a confidence and supply Government with the make up of the Dáil?

Mr. Moloney might address that.
