Sixteen Members have indicated they wish to speak and 75 minutes remain until the Minister of State will be called to reply at 11.45 p.m. following which Deputy McGrath will have ten minutes to make his concluding remarks. Under the new Standing Order the names of those who wish to contribute are taken as they come into the Chamber. Some names were given before I arrived in the Chamber such is the interest in this legislation. The next speaker is Deputy Maureen O'Sullivan. I will call subsequent speakers from either side of the House as that is the only way I can do this fairly. Deputies Keaveney, Pearse Doherty and Pringle on the Opposition side of the House have indicated they wish to speak and Deputies Corcoran Kennedy, Regina Doherty, Keating and Coffey on the other side of the House were the first four names I was given. Each Member will have ten minutes but I suggest Members could consider sharing their time if they so wish.
