The Minister of State will have five minutes to reply at the end of the debate.

There is a lot of interest in this Bill. The following Members have indicated to me that they wish to speak: Deputies Finian McGrath, Niall Collins, Caoimhghín Ó Caoláin, Joan Collins, Wallace, Mattie McGrath, Halligan, Catherine Murphy, Maureen O'Sullivan, Pringle, Luke 'Ming' Flanagan and Róisín Shortall. Is there anybody else? Deputy Clare Daly. We are short enough on time and I want to try and let everybody in. Will Deputies be cognisant of the fact that they have colleagues who want to speak? With, maybe, three minutes or so each, everybody gets a chance. Is that agreed? Agreed.

I remind Members that in Private Members' time, those guaranteed to speak are only the proposer and the Minister to reply, and after that it does not revert from Government to Opposition. This is Private Members' time and a Member is called as he or she indicates. Is that agreed? Agreed.
