I am here to take a later Topical Issue matter. I do not have a response for Deputy Whitmore. Does the Acting Chairman want to take my Topical Issue matter, after which I hope the other Minister will be here?

We have to wait until the appropriate Minister is here to answer. The Minister, Deputy Ryan, will not take this matter.

I do not have the information.

I am happy if the Acting Chairman wants to take the Topical Issue matter raised with the Minister, Deputy Ryan, before mine so we are not holding people up. We can swap.

We will adjourn for a minute to give everybody a chance to get their information ready.
