Seán Barrett (Dún Laoghaire, Ceann Comhairle)

Anything can be linked. This is Question Time. We are trying to get answers for Deputies. It is not a general debate. That is what I am trying to get across. I do not want to cut across the Deputy but I must be fair to everyone. There are Deputies waiting for their questions to be answered. We cannot have a general debate on the economy in response to a simple question.
