Táimid ag tosú leis an Aire. Tá 20 nóiméad aige. To avoid interrupting him, I ask if there is a copy of the Minister's speech available. It has happened a few times today, separate from the Minister, that speeches have not been available.

Not quite, but nearly.

Go raibh maith agat.

There might be a little discretion, given that many speakers did not turn up. I will leave it to the Acting Chairman, Deputy Murnane O'Connor. I listened to the Minister's speech. He spoke about being deeply troubled and about matters being "acutely worrying". He said "I am seriously concerned", and words to that effect. I note the Department is examining the report. If a busy Deputy can read the report, I am sure the Department can read the report quicker than it is reading it. The Minister might have had some rea…

We are running of time.

Taoiseach, we are over time.

We are way over time.

There were a number of-----

Please, Deputies.

Please. I will let the Taoiseach reply but we are way over time. There are a number of questions to be answered. I ask the Taoiseach to address the questions.

Will the scripts be distributed during the debate?

Bogaimid ar aghaidh go dtí Páirtí an Lucht Oibre agus an Teachta Howlin.

Cuirim fáilte roimh an deis a bheith páirteach sa díospóireacht agus ár ndlúthpháirtíocht a chur in iúl do mhuintir na hÚcráine agus a rá leo go seasaimid leo agus an méid tacaíochta is féidir linn a thabhairt dóibh, ar chabhair dhaonnúil í atá bunaithe ar an bpríomhrud, is é sin gur tír neodrach muid. I welcome the opportunity to take part in this discussion. I have a slight few more minutes than I had on the last occasion but my message is exactly the same, notwithstanding the blatant breach of international law …

I have very little time.

We have stood idly by. We play around. Amnesty International has produced a report on Palestine. I will have two and a half minutes tomorrow night to speak on that. Amnesty International has clearly asked this Government to do something and all governments to show solidarity and not stand idly by, but that is what we are doing. The Taoiseach has told us that he feels uncomfortable with the word "apartheid", but that was the finding. Amnesty International did not say that Israel was an apartheid state. Rather, it sa…

In accordance with Standing Order 80(2), the division is postponed until the weekly division time tomorrow evening.

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: (1) Deputy Marian Harkin - to discuss a new school for Gaelscoil Chluainín, Manorhamilton, County Leitrim; (2) Deputy Alan Farrell - to discuss the need for the development of a further education and training facility in Swords, County Dublin; (3) Deputies Éamon Ó Cuív and Mairéad Farrell - to discuss remedial work on a bridge near Kylemore Abbey on the N59 t…

Thank you, Deputy. The Minister of State to respond.

I am not sure the Deputy's question was relevant to County Louth.

It is okay to come in on a question but the point raised must be relevant to that question, which in this case relates to a particular county.
