Deputy Bruton has a minute remaining. If he would like to raise the issue that I inadvertently prevented him from raising earlier, this is his opportunity to do so.

This question is being taken by Deputy Lahart.

Before we start, I ask Members to be conscious of the time limits.

We are over time. I call on the Tánaiste to respond.

Gabhaim buíochas leis an Tánaiste. Táim ag bogadh ar aghaidh.

I thank the Deputy.

We are halfway through. I do not know how the Deputy is sharing the time but it is up to him.

Fáiltím roimh an deis páirt a ghlacadh sa díospóireacht seo in ainneoin srianta ama. Ba mhaith liom cúpla pointe a dhéanamh agus b’fhéidir go mbeidh toradh ar na pointí sin. Beidh mé ag díriú isteach ar chúrsaí oileáin, feamainne agus iascairí beaga. Tá easpa polasaithe i gceist in ainneoin gur vótáil formhór na Dála, breis is trí bliana ó shin ó thaobh cúrsaí feamainne de agus breis agus dhá bhliain ó thaobh cúrsaí oileáin de, go raibh gá práinneach le polasaí agus níl polasaí ar bith againn fós. Tá sé suntasach g…

That is not a point of order.

Deputy Collins has misused a point of order. He indicated it was a point of order and it is not.

No, it was not a point of order.

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 Mairéad Farrell - the current lack of paediatric pain consultants in the country available to see children; (2) Deputy Richard Bruton - the need for more ambition in Ireland’s circular economy strategy; (3) Deputies Thomas Pringle, Joan Collins and Richard Boyd Barrett - support for Noah Donohoe's family for an independent investigation into his de…

The Select Committee on Social Protection, Community and Rural Development and the Islands has completed its consideration of the following further Revised Estimate for Public Services for the year ending 31 December 2021: Vote 42.

The Deputy will have to wait. We will deal with amendment No. 1 and I will go the Members who have tabled the amendment in the first instance.

Deputy Mattie McGrath is seeking not to have a discussion on the Bill.

I understand that it was agreed on the Order of Business yesterday that this is the business with which we are to deal now. Amendment No. 1 has been tabled by three Deputies and I am obliged to take their contributions first and then anybody else who puts his or her hand up can contribute.

I am reluctant to interrupt the Deputy but that is not a point of order. The point has been made by Deputy Mattie McGrath and it is not in keeping with what was agreed on the Order of Business. I am obliged to follow the Order of Business. I am going to take amendment No. 1. Members can make contributions on it after it has been moved. Amendments Nos. 1, 3 and 19 to 23, inclusive, are related and will be discussed together. Amendments Nos. 20 to 23, inclusive, are physical alternatives to No. 19.

The final speaker of the named Deputies is Deputy Paul Murphy. I will then move on to the list of Teachtaí Dála who put their hands up.

I remind the Deputy, gently, that we should speak to the amendments.

I thank Deputy Healy-Rae. I am afraid I must inform him his time is up.
