I understand that. I am asking the Minister to speak through the Chair.

In accordance with Standing Order 80(2), the division is postponed until the weekly division time later this evening.

Deputies have a minute and a half each, beginning with Deputy Boyd Barrett.

I remind Deputies that we have seven more contributors with speaking time of one minute and a half each. I call Deputy Paul Murphy to speak now, please.

I will give the Taoiseach a considerable amount of time to answer all of those questions.

I thank the Taoiseach. Members have a maximum of a minute and a half.

I hate to interrupt the Minister. We are waiting for a copy of the speech for Members. I understand it is on the way; it is very helpful to have a copy to read.

I appreciate the time to speak on this Bill. It is a short Bill of 14 pages, with seven Parts and 12 sections. While relatively short, it covers a huge area with amendments to different Acts, including the Immigration Act, the Judicial Council Act 2019 and the Firearms and Offences Act 1990. There are also miscellaneous amendments with which I have no difficulty as they correct typographical errors. The Bill also makes serious amendments to the European Arrest Warrant Act 2003 and the Criminal Justice (Mutual Recog…

We are not responsible for backbenchers who do not come into the House.

Deputy Danny Healy-Rae - To discuss why many farmers are still left without their ACRES payments. Deputy Claire Kerrane - To discuss the serious staffing crisi…

I do not think I can delay this much longer. I will give one more minute before we move on. Níl aon duine anseo, faraor. Leanfaimid ar aghaidh.

Are you finished?

I have a conflict of interest because I am further down the list. The Minister wants to speak on this.

I understand. I am breaking the rules, but it is almost holiday time. I declare a conflict of interest because I am further down the list. I did my best to invite people into the Chamber. By way of exception, if the Ministers agree I will let Members contribute and we will then come to the Minister of State for what is left of his time. Sinn Féin will then conclude.

Thank you for your co-operation.

Gabhaim buíochas leis an gCathaoirleach Gníomhach, Deputy Mattie McGrath, as ucht a bheith sa Chathaoir. Fáiltím roimh an mBille seo agus an obair atá curtha isteach ag na Teachtaí Dála Mairéad Farrell agus Eoin Ó Broin. Tá siad ag díriú an spotsolais ar ghné den earnáil tithíochta seo. Is gné amháin é.
