I thank the Minister. We are over time, unfortunately.
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.
This is the point of the site: contributions keep the party held on the day, not the one held now.

I thank the Minister. We are over time, unfortunately.
The time has expired.
That concludes the statement by the Minister for Rural and Community Development, Deputy Ring, on Covid-19 and questions and answers on Covid-19.
This is the second round. Fianna Fáil, Sinn Féin and Fine Gael have 20 minutes each, the Green Party has ten minutes, and so on. I call the Minister for Finance, Deputy Donohoe.
Right. I call Deputy Cowen for Fianna Fáil.
It is in the Deputy's own hands. He should leave space for the answers as well, if he can.
I propose to take all the answers together. Is that agreed? Agreed. I call Deputy O'Sullivan.
Thank you, Deputy O'Sullivan. I call Deputy Devlin.
We are still honouring that. There is still room for the four and four.
I may have missed out on the third four.
The eight and a half minutes-----
The Deputy has only four minutes left.
I thank the Minister.
I call Deputy Noonan. Is he taking all ten minutes?
That is for both questions and answers.
Excuse me, Deputy Shortall. In order to conduct the debate in some kind of orderly fashion, we must have only one speaker at a time.
We move to the Regional Group.
Deputy Danny Healy-Rae is sharing with Deputy Mattie McGrath, is that correct? They have ten minutes.
We now move on to the independent Independents.
We have gone through the ten minutes plus.
