Gabh mo leithscéal, Deputy. To clarify, every Member has seven minutes to speak on each amendment or group of amendments. In addition, every Member has a further two minutes, if they so choose, and the proposer of the amendment has an extra two minutes. It is better if Members take their seven minutes before the Minister responds in order to get answers.
