I thank the Minister. As I am conscious of the time, I remind members we have to conclude our business by 6 p.m., which is less than an hour away. We still have to discuss the second motion, which we have not dealt with yet.

I record apologies on the part of Deputy Leddin, who has had to leave us, and I note the attendance of Deputies Cowen and Stanton.

I will next call Deputies Berry, Lawless, whom I neglected to mention earlier, and Clarke.
