Deputies Leddin and Costello will be sharing time.
Alan Farrell
Rhetoric & votes →On prevailing side: this member voted with the winning side in 722 of 728 decisive votes (2 abstentions excluded). Read it as a government-or-opposition indicator rather than a measure of influence — the figure is near 100% for members supporting the government of the day and near 0% for those opposing it.

I understand that. I regret that Standing Orders and the order of the day preclude her from so doing unless Deputies had given enough time for her to reply within their own slot. She may, of course, respond in writing if she is agreeable to doing so.

The order of the day stipulated that the Minister, Deputy Foley, would not answer questions unless Deputies ceded time, as Deputy Conway-Walsh has just done. Deputy Ó Laoghaire is getting three minutes, so the Minister will have one minute to respond if he wishes.

I thank the Minister. Some Members might have noticed that I inadvertently skipped ahead there using the old top-down list. The Social Democrats were usually after the Labour Party.
