Michael D Higgins (Galway West, Labour)

On a point of order, we should thank Deputy Morgan for being willing to do what we have done already today, which was to use the time effectively in such a way that we will touch off the major issues that can be grouped. I suggest that, should the Minister appear in the next hour, before 7 p.m., we will return to this issue and repeat our proposal. I understood there was a consensus in the House earlier today that we should do as much as possible to try to utilise the time available to us.
