Two things can happen. I can adjourn the House for 15 minutes to get the direction of the Ceann Comhairle and would be glad to do so.

My own interpretation is that the Ceann Comhairle said the debate is to adjourn tonight when all the speakers are exhausted. I do not mean exhausted in the physical sense, but rather when they have exhausted what they want to say. I am willing to accept that the Deputy can speak if he wants to now. I will suspend the House for 15 minutes in order to get a direction from the Ceann Comhairle. Is that agreed? Agreed.
