I accept that, but the Minister of State will be called to contribute from the Government side. When he or she indicates he or she wishes to speak, he or she has 15 minutes. Senator Byrne will be allowed in, because there will be time. There will be nine minutes left over before Senator Lawless speaks again for Senator Byrne and Senator Frank Feighan to somewhat share, if that is possible. Senator Byrne is ahead of Senator Feighan, so she could have eight minutes. He would only get one then. That is if the Minister of State uses his full 15 minutes, which he may not use.
