That completes Leaders’ Questions. The next item of business is questions to the Taoiseach. I note that in the Distinguished Visitors' Gallery we have representatives of the Power family, who are present for the expressions of sympathy on the death of the late Paddy Power, a distinguished Member of this House.

Unfortunately, I do not know whether it is as a result of a breakdown in communications that the expressions of sympathy are listed after Taoiseach's questions. My only difficulty is that some of the Deputies for the Kildare constituency are not present and may be under the impression that expressions of sympathy are not taking place. My comments are just to let the Deputies know the position. I am sorry if there is any delay.
