I suppose we will have to wait a couple of minutes now until it is 12 noon. That is why people are not here.

It is now midday. The Deputy is being deliberately disruptive and he knows it.

If the Deputy wishes to educate me further, he can do so in his own time.

Now we are just sitting here, wasting our time when we could be having a debate on the Bill. There is nothing happening. The Taoiseach is not here and we are just sitting here waiting.
