Deputy Ó Caoláin should read the Standing Orders. I am applying the new Standing Orders for question time. Each Deputy has up to 30 seconds to introduce the question. The Minister has two minutes to respond. There is a minute for a supplementary question from the Deputy who has asked the question. The Minister replying has a minute to reply to that supplementary question. There is a further minute if the Deputy so wishes and the Minister has a minute. That is six minutes. That is the idea for trying to get through the questions. There are other people here waiting to ask questions. It is not my fault. The time is up.
