That is enough. If the Deputy has any difficulty with that he can take it further and make whatever complaint he likes. I am now continuing-----

You are out of order.

You are completely and utterly out of order. Resume your seat.

You are leaving me no choice.

Deputy, resume your seat, please.

I am now suspending the Dáil once again because of disgraceful behaviour that is unacceptable. It is now nearly 5 p.m. I am suspending the Dáil.

You are listed in one of the three-minute slots.

I know what has happened. There was an earlier seven-minute slot that you missed. We will adjust the clock.

Fáiltím roimh an deis píosa cainte a dhéanamh maidir leis an mBille seo. Tá cuspóir aige córas cúitimh a chur ar bhonn reachtúil, maidir leis na cásanna coiriúla agus sibhialta, nuair atá moill míréasúnta i gceist. Tá sé tábhachtach a rá nach bhfuil an dara rogha ag an Rialtas ach an Bille seo a chur chun cinn go práinneach de bharr sraith cásanna, ag dul siar níos mó ná 20 bliain, ón Chúirt Eorpach um Cheart an Duine. Tá sé ráite go soiléir aici go bhfuil teip ar an Rialtas seo agus ar na Rialtais a tháinig roimhe…

I wish to advise the House of the following matters in respect of which notice has been given under Standing Order 37 and the name of the Member in each case: Deputy Mattie McGrath - to discuss the insurance crisis in Motorcycling Ireland. Deputy Seán Sherlock - to discuss the need to provide an autism spectrum disorder, ASD, class for Castletownroche National School, Cork, for September 2023.

Before I call the Minister, Deputy O'Dowd wants to come in.

Seanad Éireann has passed the Social Welfare (Child Benefit Bill) 2023, without amendment.

We will fit in part of the next question. Tá dhá nóiméad fágtha, b'fhéidir.

My question specifically relates to a report. I am asking the Minister about the status of the National Strategic Plan for Sustainable Aquaculture Development for the period 2021 to 2030. Where is the plan? Has it been published? If not, when will it be published and what are the reasons for the delay?

I thank the Minister for the clarification that the report is to be published at the end of the second quarter. The other plan ran out two and a half years ago and the Minister has still not given me an explanation for the delay in publishing this plan. It is very difficult to follow it. I took a particular interest in seaweed when I came in here, as did my colleagues, and a motion was passed by the majority of the Dáil which recognised the absence of a sustainable policy for the seaweed industry. That was 2018 and…

I welcome that. I also welcome the work of the former Minister of State, Deputy English, in the Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage, in relation to seaweed. My difficulty is that we have a Bord Iascaigh Mhara, BIM, report referring to and outlining a report that has not even been published and that we have not read. That is one difficulty. The second difficulty is that we are operating in a vacuum. Friends of the Irish Environment has drawn to our attention allegations in relation to unsustainable …

Is the Bill opposed?

Since this is a Private Members' Bill, Second Stage must, under Standing Orders, be taken in Private Members' time.

I had the opportunity to speed read the Minister of State's presentation. I acknowledge his work to date on it and the very low base from which he takes the work. We are here making statements about climate change on biodiversity week, again. It is four or five years since we declared a climate and biodiversity emergency. The Minister of State has outlined some of the reports that highlight the crisis we are in. I represent a city and a rural area and I am absolutely in favour of rural and regional development. We …
