My office has been in touch with the Minister but she was not available. There is normally an issue with the voting bloc in the Dáil so I ask all Members of this House to talk to their party groups about allowing a Minister to be free so as to have to a chance to prepare for coming into us in this House. It is unfair to us as a House as we try to get through our business in an orderly fashion. I apologise to Members and I will convey the Cathaoirleach's remarks to the Minister.
