We move now to the second round of statements. To clarify, there is a set time for this item, which is precisely 100 minutes for questions and answers. We will begin with the Government side. Deputies Carroll MacNeill and Alan Farrell have 15 minutes to make statements or pose questions. That time also includes the time for the Minister's reply, and that should be borne in mind. I will stop the speakers after 15 minutes.

Moving on to Sinn Féin, Deputy Cullinane is sharing with Deputy Patricia Ryan. They have ten minutes in total.

He has barely 15 seconds. I am sorry, but that is how it has worked out.

We have run out of time. If the Minister has a reply, he may go ahead.

I thank the Minister.

I ask Deputy Paul Murphy to resume his seat.

It is not a point of order. The Deputy has interrupted the Minister and accused him of telling lies. That is not acceptable and it is not a point of order. It is simply not. I ask the Deputy to withdraw the remark.

The Deputy is repeating it and that is not acceptable. It is not a point of order. I will move on and leave the matter. The Deputy might reflect on his use of language.

I thank the Deputy. Moving on-----

I am sorry, Minister-----

Minister, please, I have already taken one Deputy to task. You do not tell the Leas-Cheann Comhairle what you are doing. The ruling from me is that we are sticking to the time. If you seek permission by way of exception I might accede to that but I ask you to have a little respect for the Chair, not a finger-pointing exercise. I am giving you 20 seconds to answer.

Would you please reply?

I am going to stop now and move on because the Minister has not used his-----

I am sorry, Minister. I am moving on-----

What is the point of order?

That is not-----

Would the Deputy please resume his seat? I have been more-----

Deputy, could you please resume your seat?

Deputy, would you please resume your seat?

That is not a point of order. I have been more than flexible in my time. I am now moving on. If at the end some Deputy decides not to use all of his or her time or if the Ministers are quicker there might be some time available. I call Deputy Darren O'Rourke.
