It is about other schools as well. In fairness, the Senator is right in what she has said.

Senator Mullen spoke about the important matter of Yemen. He acknowledged that we have spent €4 million and recognised that we need to keep up our diplomatic efforts to protect the lives of people who are innocent of any conflict and should be supported. I will be happy to ask the Minister for Foreign Affairs and Trade to come to the House on this matter.

If Members wish, I will agree to amend the Order of Business to give each group spokesperson five minutes and thereby free up more time for other speakers. The Minister is coming in for 90 minutes. We must be cognisant that she needs to be present in the Dáil for the motion of confidence in the Government. We have acceded to Senator Conway-Walsh's request for a debate in the House this evening. If Senators are in agreement on the change from eight minutes to five minutes per spokesperson, I am happy to facilitate that.
