I am due to call the Minister, Deputy Kelly, at 7.10 p.m., but if I do so I will leave two Deputies unable to contribute to this debate. I know the Deputies in question have been here for quite some time. I propose that with the agreement of the Minister and the willingness of the House, we will continue for an extra ten minutes to accommodate every Deputy who has offered. We are taking a bit of a liberty in so doing, but I take it that the House is in agreement with the proposal. Is that agreed? Agreed. I ask the remaining speakers to stay strictly within the time limits. The next two speakers, Deputies Funchion and Quinlivan, are making their maiden contributions. They are very welcome.
