The Minister will get an opportunity to finish. I am keeping an eye on the time.

We are over time. The Minister will have a chance to come back in on this question.

The Deputy will get a chance to come back in.

Deputy O'Connor is in on this question. His contribution will be taken after Deputy Browne.

Before the Minister comes in, Deputy McNamara wanted to come in on this question.

We are over time. The Minister to conclude.

I thank the Minister. We are over time.

We are way over time. Caithfimid bogadh ar aghaidh.

I will. Will the Minister use the time efficiently?

There are three Members who each have one minute. Then the Minister is to conclude.

The Minister to conclude.

Before we start, are we allowed back in for our second minute or are we losing that?

The procedure is that you do not lose your time when a question is grouped, you just lose the 30 seconds.

I thank the Acting Chairman. Turning to the Minister, we have all been following up on this because it is so important. The catalyst was the RTÉ radio documentary "Women of Honour" and what it exposed, namely, sexism, bullying, sexual assault and rape in the Defence Forces. In a sense I am glad the questions are grouped but I also have a concern as there is no connection, unless the Minister is going to make one, to the previous independent reports, even though they seem to have been internal.

I thank the Minister. I know it is difficult in this set-up, especially in this new set-up, but this goes back decades and it is ongoing. The Minister has acknowledged there has been no fundamental change in culture, notwithstanding the reports he has got to date. Thus, we are in serious trouble here with the Defence Forces. When will the terms of reference be finalised and the independent board set up? As for this repetition of "independent and unbiased", it goes without saying we must have an independent professi…

We resume on a Government slot. I call Deputy Neasa Hourigan, who has 20 minutes.

I thank the Deputy. I might try chairing from home as a pilot project.

I wish to advise the House of the following matters in respect of which notice has been given under Standing Order 27A and the name of the Member in each case: (1) Deputy Alan Farrell - to discuss the need for the introduction of common enrolment processes in schooling; (2) Deputy Ivana Bacik - to discuss the crisis in staffing in the home care sector and the proposals to address same; (3) Deputies David Stanton and Pat Buckley - to address concerns at the proposed closure of the Owenacurra Centre, Midleton, County…

We return to Sinn Féin. This is a 20-minute slot with only Deputy Andrews due to speak.

I may share time with Deputy Harkin, who has not yet arrived in the Chamber. I only wish I had some of this time last night to speak during statements on the report of the air accident investigation unit. I had three and a half minutes to contribute to the debate on that 350-page report. Perhaps the House will, at some point, look into priorities for the time allocated to different business. Having said that, this is a very important Bill and I do not mean to diminish its significance. However, it is ironic that I …
