The Minister of State, Deputy Joe McHugh, is at the Business Committee. The House may consider agreeing that the Minister continue but the next question to him has been tabled by Deputy Joan Burton who is possibly of the view that there are four other priority questions to be taken first. I think, therefore, it would be unfair to her. There is a series of questions, such as Questions Nos. 66, 67, 69 and 71. Perhaps the Minister, if he has the files, might be prepared to continue until the Minister of State arrives.
