Early Years Childcare: Motion [Private Members]
Point taken. I am sure it can be arranged as quickly as possible. The Minister to proceed.
Bernard Durkan
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.

I am sorry to interrupt again. I understand the speech has been circulated by email. If that is not satisfactory, Deputies should say so.

It would not be fair to the Ministers to expect them to answer comprehensively the questions that were raised. If it is acceptable, I ask each Minister to communicate with Deputies on the questions they have raised. Is that agreed? Agreed.

Give the Ministers time to reply. The time has expired. I apologise; there are two more slots left. I was ahead of myself. One gets confused in this place, especially with the lights. The next slot is Fine Gael's. Deputies Carroll MacNeill and Alan Farrell have 15 minutes.

Financial Provisions (Covid-19) Bill 2020: Second Stage (Resumed)
