Additional time has rightly been added to the schedule today for those Deputies who want to contribute to the debate on the motion in regard to the invasion of Ukraine but there is also very serious concern in this House about the situation in Palestine. Both Human Rights Watch and Amnesty International have defined this as an apartheid state. It is a very damning report. There has been a reasonable request for additional speaking time and, today, a number of us emailed that time should be set aside on Thursday. The Government could facilitate this, not the debate tomorrow night which is 100 minutes. We are asking for another 35 minutes. I think that could be scheduled very reasonably on Thursday to facilitate the concerns of Deputies. I think it is only reasonable that it be facilitated.
