In light of the fact that the Minister is still in the Dáil due to the block voting I propose that we suspend until 2 p.m.

I thank Members for their patience and co-operation, and I thank the Minister of State and the staff also. The delay is the by-product of the new regime in the Lower House. It is unfortunate, and I know it discommodes Members.
