A considerable number of questions have been raised. Having regard to the number of questions, I propose to go back to the Minister and then I will revert to Deputies Berry and Clarke. I note the questions from Deputies Gannon and Brady. Some of Deputy Brady’s questions might have strayed somewhat from the motion, but I am keen this committee avails of every opportunity. I ask the Minister to be particularly brief in his responses to questions that may not be directly related to the motion. I do not wish to rule them out in the interests of the smooth running of the meeting. I thank the Minister again for his attendance. We will deal with these questions now and then come back to Deputies Berry and Clarke.
