If the time is eaten up by the question, there is no answer.

Rhetoric & votes →On prevailing side: this member voted with the winning side in 782 of 793 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.
Party over time
This is the point of the site: contributions keep the party held on the day, not the one held now.

It is a matter for the speakers to control their verbosity in such a way as to be able to get an answer.

It is the same amount of time as for everybody else, no more and no less. I call Deputy Harkin, who will share time with Deputy Connolly.

Unfortunately, the time has expired for the Minister to reply. Presumably, written replies will suffice. Is that agreed? Agreed.

I am sorry to interrupt. If Deputy Brady wants to give an opportunity to the Minister to answer, I ask him to try to contain his contributions-----

The Deputies should make their points and then the Minister will reply, but give the Minister space, if at all possible.

Three Fine Gael Deputies are sharing time. I am trying to facilitate everyone. Making the questions and answers clear is beneficial to both sides. Otherwise, someone will get crowded out.

I know. Unfortunately, I was trying to accommodate everybody. It does not always work that way but with a shorter intervention at the beginning, Members get a more comprehensive reply. We have to move on.

The most important thing is to try to ensure that students who are due to sit their leaving certificates this year are not permanently impacted on by the circumstances of the situation that surrounds them and over which neither they, the Minister nor anybody else have any control. We must accommodate new people who come to live in an area, which is the situation in most parts of County Kildare. Kildare has a moving and an increasing population and there is pressure on space. When children return to school, adequate…

I will only take a couple of minutes. First, I congratulate and thank the Minister and her colleagues for the measures already taken in containing the virus, particularly in preparing for the restart of our economy, which is the next most important phase. We need to keep a number of things in mind. First, we tend to refer to the businesses that might not open their doors again.
