Denis O'Donovan (Fianna Fail)

The contributions of each of the spokespersons for the various groups will be limited to seven minutes. That is a limit which I will strictly enforce. Thereafter, other Senators will have one minute in which to pose their questions. They should not make speeches because that would not be fair to other Members. On a previous occasion, I wanted to ask a question on fisheries but I did not get the opportunity to do so because the time ran out owing to the fact that everyone who preceded me was too leadránach. It is important, therefore, that spokespersons should make all their points in the seven minutes available to them and that other Senators should use their 60 seconds to ask questions rather than making speeches.
