John O'Donoghue (Kerry South, Ceann Comhairle)

It is not my function to engage in a dialogue with the Deputy on this or any other matter. It is in accordance with precedence and therefore, in accordance with practice. I would now like the Minister of State to speak on the other matter raised by the Deputy, because I must move on to Deputy Stagg and two other Deputies who are offering.
