I reckon we will have time for a second round. I acknowledge that many issues and questions were covered. I was quite liberal with time with Deputy Berry in particular, much to the detriment of Deputy Clarke. While I say to the detriment of Deputy Clarke, I hope it is not to her annoyance. I put it to her that we will revert to the Minister now to deal with the questions from Deputies Brady and Berry, and then come back to her with what should be a clean slate. If Deputy Clarke would like to come in at this stage, I am inclined to allow her, but I want to give another minute or 90 seconds to Deputy Berry, who I interrupted. How does Deputy Clarke feel about that? Should we go back to the Minister and then return to her?
