Donnchadh Ó Laoghaire: I will raise a point of order. I say this with the greatest respect for the Minister of State, Deputy Healy-Rae, and it is not any reflection on him. He is doing the job he has been asked to do but it was the custom - I acknowledge this is the general responsibility of the Office of the Ceann Comhairle - that where a Minister or Minister of State from the relevant Department was not...

Donnchadh Ó Laoghaire: What parents will have heard from the Minister in her response is a lot of reasonableness and trying to empathise with the situation.
