I am giving the Tánaiste, Deputy Gilmore, an opportunity to make an honest man of the Taoiseach, as the Taoiseach wanted to make of him last week.

Deputy Ó Cuív, you were told that the Deputies should resume their seats when the Chair is standing. I call on the Minister for Finance, Deputy Michael Noonan, to move the next motion.
