I must remind Deputies that the starting time is 9.30 a.m. All we are doing is losing time for Question Time. I appeal to those who must provide a quorum to do so.

Will the Ceann Comhairle clarify what is the allocated time for Question Time?

It is a contradiction and a matter which must be cleared up. It is supposed to be from 9.30 a.m. to 10.45 a.m.

Yes.

On the other hand, 75 minutes are to be allocated for Question Time.

We will try to deal with the matter. There is no point in wasting more time.

We will see how it goes.

I must say it is happening too often.

Providing a quorum is the Government's responsibility.
