I wish to make a statement to the whole House and the Office of the Ceann Comhairle in particular. Most days, priority questions drift beyond the allocated 30 minutes, which means many of us cannot get questions in. Can we discuss staying within Standing Orders to ensure priority question time does not drift to an hour? Although Standing Orders allocate 30 minutes for priority questions, it drifts, and today it was 20 minutes over time, which meant at least four or five ordinary questions were not reached.
