The next question is in the name of Deputy Bríd Smith. I ask her to keep to the allocated time as it will allow more of her colleagues to get in.

I am not sure of the times I get.

The Deputy gets 30 seconds to introduce. The Minister gets two minutes to make the initial reply.

The clerk is saying something to the Acting Chairman.

There are two questions together. Where there is just one question, the Minister gets two minutes to reply. Where two questions are grouped, the Minister gets four minutes to reply and the Deputy gets two opportunities of one minute to ask questions.

So the time I get is not doubled.

No.

I only get 30 seconds, one minute and one minute, but the Minister gets twice as much.

The Minister gets four minutes, yes.
