Pat Gallagher (Donegal, Fianna Fail) | Oireachtas source

Before commencing, I wish to point out that all Members would have received an e-mail yesterday from the Ceann Comhairle indicating that it will be questions on promised legislation and not statements. I have a long list of 14 Members after the leaders and I will be trying to accommodate everybody in only 15 minutes. Please set an example. If there are short, crisp questions and answers, we might be able to accommodate all. I call Deputy Cowen.
