On a point of order.

The Deputy cannot have a point of order. I call Deputy Ó Cuív, who has four minutes.

I think the Leas-Cheann Comhairle can take a point of order.

I cannot take it at this stage because we have moved onto the Topical Issue debate.

It is a topical issue and I want to correct the record of this House.

No, we are on to this issue. The Deputy may have another opportunity but this specifically pertains to the issue of home insurance raised by Deputy Ó Cuív.
