The debate on the Bill was late starting by ten minutes. To be fair, the Minister for Children and Youth Affairs, Deputy Katherine Zappone, is due here at 7 p.m. As she has a meeting at 8.30 p.m., she must leave here by 8.20 p.m. I have no problem extending this debate by the ten minutes required and then to facilitate the Minister for Children and Youth Affairs who must leave by 8.20 p.m.
