The provision here was for the Taoiseach to make a statement in the aftermath of the votes. Subsequently, we moved on to the three motions set out on Supplementary Order Papers. Deputy Martin, the Tánaiste and Deputy Adams are more than welcome to make statements on those items. There is no provision for responding to the statement made by the Taoiseach and there is no tradition or convention in the House for this to be done.
