The Minister can do the best she can.

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.

I thank the Minister. Following her opening statement, Fianna Fáil and Sinn Féin each have 15 minutes for their statements, questions and answers. There are ten minutes each allocated for Fine Gael, the Green Party, the Labour Party and all the other groups, including the Rural Independent Group.

The thing to remember about all of this is that if Members extend their time taking questions, the answers will be somewhat truncated.

I am sorry but the Minister will have to respond by way of written reply as it is not possible for her to reply in the time available.

We will get all the questions first and then we will get the answers. I think that is fairer on the Minister as well.

The time is up. The Minister must have a reasonable amount of time to reply to both contributors. There are two minutes and 30 seconds left.
