Before we move on, ní mór dom a rá go bhfuilimid i lár Sheachtain na Gaeilge. Bainimid úsáid as coincheap na meithle i gcónaí. I spiorad na meithle, b'fhéidir go mbeimid in ann obair as lámh a chéile chun a chinntiú go mbeidh deis ag chuile dhuine ar an liosta teacht isteach inniu. Tá 24 ainm agam anseo. We are in the middle of Seachtain na Gaeilge. In the spirit of the meithle, which is a word that is used often here, I ask the Members to work together to ensure that as many of those on the list as possible get th…

Thank you, Tánaiste. I must move on to the next speaker.

We are over time. Tá mé ag bogadh ar aghaidh.

Tá mé ag bogadh ar aghaidh. An Teachta Danny Healy-Rae.

Thank you, Deputy. We are over time.

I ask the Deputy for his co-operation. He has put his question. Deputy Michael Collins has a question on the same issue.

We are dealing with promised legislation and the programme for Government.

I have three minutes. I could say a lot but I will not. The vaccination is one part of a process and the Government is utterly failing in relation to the overall process to obtain trust. I do not think the Government's messaging and mixed messaging is helping to increase trust in the system, specifically with the time available in relation to the vaccine. My colleague mentioned Dr. Sloane, who was on "Today with Claire Byrne" earlier. Let me take the front page of The Irish Times in which Dr. Mary Favier, a GP and …

This is my minute. It is my time. The Minister has abused that time. I did not criticise anyone. I commented that Dr. Sloane was at the end of his tether on behalf of his patients. It is totally disingenuous of the Minister to twist those words. I am not asking the Minister any more questions. I am using my 30 seconds to say that what he has said is utterly disgraceful. We want to work with the Minister. It is impossible when he is being disingenuous. I had three minutes and I wanted to use them to elicit clarity. …

On a point of order, it is totally unfair for the Minister to abuse his time in this manner.

Gabhaim buíochas leis an Teachta agus bogfaimid ar aghaidh anois leis an Teachta Shanahan, ón Regional Group. Níl sé i lathair. Rachaimid ar ais mar sin go dtí an Rialtas agus glaoim ar an Teachta O'Donnell.

I thank the Minister of State, Deputy Butler. Sinn Féin has three speakers and I call Deputy Funchion.

I am tempted to start with a joke. The content of the debate reminds me of a joke that is doing the rounds. A woman goes forward for a full-time job that she really wants but in the course of the interview, the interviewers, who obviously have a man in mind for the position, tell her the job is really very onerous and that it involves the work of two men. She asks: "Oh God, is it part time, so?"

I thank the Minister and the two Ministers of State for remaining here and I thank them for their thoughtful contributions. I was struck by all three contributions. I doubt that any Minister other than the Minister for Children, Equality, Disability, Integration and Youth, Deputy O'Gorman, has acknowledged that a patriarchal society still exists, sexism still exists and women still face misogyny in everyday life. He stated women are over-represented in the sectors that have been badly affected by the pandemic. The …

I remind Members that any division called will be deferred to the next division time.

Is a copy of the Minister's speech available?

That is okay.

We move now to the Rural Independent Group slot, in respect of which there are four speakers beginning with Deputy Michael Healy-Rae.

I am unsure who will speak first in the next group. There are three speakers. Is it the Minister of State, Deputy Peter Burke? An Teachta Emer Higgins is on my list as is the Minister of State, Deputy Noonan. Tell me how the time will be divided.

Gabh mo leithscéal. An bhfuil cóip den óráid sin ar fáil?
