Yes.

The time is running now for the wrap up.

When I came in for the changeover, Deputy Carey had finished.

I dtús báire, ba mhaith liom a rá go bhfuil mo thacaíocht 100% taobh thiar den rún seo. Ní saineolaí mé ar an ábhar seo ach tá an t-uafás léite agam agus cloiste agam ó chuir an Teachta Pringle an dua air féin an rún seo a chur os comhair na Dála agus é faoi bhrú. Ba mhaith liom a rá gurb é an rud a léimeann amach ná go bhfuiltear ag déileáil leis na feirmeoirí mar chuid den fhadhb seachas ag déileáil leo mar chuid den réiteach. Sin an rud atá ag teastáil, do na feirmeoirí beaga ach go háirithe, in iarthar na tíre,…

Is that agreed? Agreed.

I always preface my remarks by saying the Minister of State inherited the situation. In that context, I welcome this opportunity, although like another speaker said, I do not know whether the word "welcome" is appropriate in relation to what I am about to say. I will start with the statement of the chairperson of the Mental Health Commission, John Saunders, who said: "The current Covid-19 pandemic has highlighted in stark terms the need for a modern, well-staffed, holistic community-based mental health service."

Before moving on, I remind Members if they are watching proceedings that we are moving through the questions pretty smartly, and they may miss their turn if close attention is not paid.

Táim ag bogadh ar aghaidh. Some of the Deputies who tabled the subsequent questions are not in the Chamber so I will skip their questions. Unless I have missed someone, Deputy Ó Murchú's question is next.

I will go back to the correct sequence as I see Deputy Calleary is here now.

Deputy Farrell will have an opportunity a little later.

They are usually outside.

There are two and a half minutes left for Deputy Cullinane's colleague.

Leaders' Questions starts at 12 noon so I will have to stick to the rules on time. The Labour Party is next with Deputy Alan Kelly.

The Minister has been left with 25 seconds to reply.

I need to keep to time. We are going to move on within what I have and Deputy Kelly is now taking time from other speakers. He can take any issues up later. I ask for co-operation as the Deputy is now eating into his colleagues' time and I move now to the Government speakers, of whom there are three and I will be sticking to the time allotted. I call Deputy Brendan Smith to speak, who has three minutes.

The Minister has 40 seconds to reply.

I call now Deputy Durkan.

As the third speaker does not appear to be in the Chamber, there are five and a half minutes left.

I call now Deputy Griffin.

I did not have the Deputy's name on any list but that is fine and I am allowing him in to speak now.
