I call Deputy Murnane O'Connor, who is in a slot of four speakers. The Deputy might clarify how much time she is taking.

There are not that many minutes.

I thank both Ministers for their written speeches. It is helpful to have the details. The Minister for Transport talked about how we are an island heavily reliant on international connectivity. That is correct. We have had to keep our borders open throughout this health crisis to maintain critical supply lines and allow essential travel. I do not believe there is a single person in this country who would have a difficulty with that. It is not what happened, however. We utterly failed to deal with people coming into…

I do not know whether Deputies have been taken unawares but I do not see any speakers from the Government parties, Sinn Féin, People Before Profit or the Regional Group. I am simply mentioning this in the interests of transparency. The next group with a Member present is the Rural Independent Group. I call Deputy O'Donoghue.

Before we start, it is very difficult when Deputies approach as we are just starting the prayer and starting the session. I remind Members that there is a pandemic and a distance to be kept. That is the first thing. Second, when the Ceann Comhairle or Leas-Cheann Comhairle is approached as we start the session, it is extremely difficult to concentrate on what is in hand.

I thank the Minister of State for sticking to the time. I know it is difficult.

I welcome that, but that hands-on approach must be within a context of recognition of what the Minister of State has inherited and where we are with mental health. We have the Mental Health Reform submission, which I am sure the Minister of State is aware of and which was already referred to, we have the Ombudsman commission's report in relation to it and we have, quite extraord…

I thank the Deputy.

I thank the Tánaiste.

I thank the Tánaiste.

I thank the Tánaiste. We are beyond time.

I thank the Tánaiste. I realise the issue is sensitive but I have to move on.

That concludes Leaders' Questions. I thank Deputies for co-operating on time.

Thank you, Tánaiste.

Go raibh maith agat. I am going to move on.

Thank you. We move now to the Social Democrats.

I thank the Tánaiste. We are over time.

Thank you, Deputy.

Go raibh maith agat, Deputy. Let the Tánaiste answer.
