Based on the time we have left and the number of speakers, not everybody will get in. I am counting Senator Higgins in already. If everyone takes a minute off, everybody will get in, but if everyone goes for six minutes they will not. Is it agreed we cut their speaking time to five minutes for everyone else? Agreed.

I now call Senator Lombard, followed by Senators Malcolm Byrne, Kyne, Doherty, Higgins, Cummins and McDowell. Senator Lombard does not need to use the five minutes; if he can say it in three, that is grand.
