Deputy Gould would like to contribute on this issue.

As Deputy Stanton is not present, we will move to Question No. 51.

There are many Deputies waiting to ask questions and we are going to run out of time so I am really trying to keep to the allocated time.

The next question is in the name of Deputy Duncan Smith, who is not here but it is linked with a number of questions that are all in the name of Deputy Durkan. We have less than two minutes left so I invite Deputy Durkan to grasp his opportunity for half a minute.

We have run out of time. Deputy Durkan may make a quick comment if he likes.

The Select Committee on Children, Disability, Equality and Integration has completed its consideration of the following Revised Estimates for public services for the year ending 31 December 2021: Votes 25 and 40.

I have been very lenient with the Deputy. We have gone over the time. I move on to Deputy Kelly.

We have gone way over time and must move on.

The next slot is being shared by Deputies Haughey, Eoghan Murphy and Durkan.

I remind Deputies there is a three-minute time limit.

The Minister has one minute.

The Minister may have time to respond to that point later.

I am afraid the time is up. There might be a spare minute later to allow the Minister to come back on Deputy Bruton's question.

There is no time remaining for the Minister to respond. As a general point, if Deputies want the Minister to reply, I ask that they leave time for him to do so. Otherwise, their contributions are statements.

I am glad the Minister has acknowledged that there was not a perfect roll-out. I acknowledge the enormity of the task of trying to vaccinate the whole country. Let me say that publicly. I also want to repeat that it is simply part of an overall approach. My worry is that we are now focusing entirely on the vaccination programme, which I understand, but there is a much bigger issue, namely, how we deal with the pandemic. Let me finish on the practical side. Last week the Minister got a little excited about what I po…

The roll-out started with those aged over 85 years. Have they all been vaccinated? Will they be by the end of the week? I ask the Minister to answer my question on the call centre.

Perhaps the Minister could answer my question on the call centre.

It is one of the rare times the Minister had another minute or two left.

Deputy Doherty's time is up. I call the Tánaiste.

I am listening carefully to what the Deputy is saying. He is treading very closely to identifying people and there is a Standing Order on that. We will stop the clock for a minute as I am not going to use up the Deputy's time. The Deputy cannot identify people. I have been listening carefully and I am just putting the Deputy on notice in that regard.
