The Minister should be mindful that he has a ten-minute slot at the end.

The Deputy has two and a half minutes.

I will call the next speaker and give the Minister time to respond at the end.

The Minister and Minister of State will have ten minutes following the final speaker. I am conscious that the Minister and Minister of State may not have had the opportunity to respond to Deputy Colm Burke, who used less of his time than the other speakers in the slot. Perhaps they can respond to him in the ten minutes remaining. I call Deputy Catherine Connolly.

Deputy Colm Burke raised a couple of issues and left ample time for a response, but the Minister ran out of time. He might respond to those points now.

Yes.

I move: That leave be granted to introduce a Bill entitled an Act to make provision for time-limited trials of electric scooters through approved rental schemes and to require the Minister for Transport to regulate their use for the period of the trials, and to provide for related matters. I thank you, a Cheann Comhairle, for granting me leave to introduce the Bill. This topic has been close to my heart for two years. I have followed the evolution of e-scooters from clumsy lightweight vehicles to the position they …

I move: "That the Bill be taken in Private Members' time."

I thank the Minister of State. I understand the Minister will have to absent himself briefly from the Chamber. I will give him a few minutes to respond to the questions that have been asked.

Will the Deputy have more questions?

I call Deputy Canney. Is he looking for responses or just making a statement?

I thank the Minister.

We will move on to the Rural Independent Group.

I have the time in my head.

In the debate notes I have, it is called a wrap-up. The Minister may interpret that. He has seven minutes.

As my constituency colleague said, this is a plea from and on behalf of those on the front line in meeting the consequences of drug misuse in our constituency, namely, the drugs and alcohol task forces and those who work with them. It is a plea for help, not just to the Department but also to the Departments of Health, Justice, Education and Children, Equality, Disability, Integration and Youth. Without drugs task forces, children, sons, daughters, fathers and brothers would simply have nowhere to go to seek help. …

I mentioned in my opening remarks that every Department - and I named them - needs to come to the table, to meet the drugs task forces and to make sure that the people who traditionally sat around this table but who have fallen away over the years get back to it. I welcome the Minister of State's comments about drug seizures but, with regard to the Criminal Assets Bureau, what could be more symbolic a gesture than the money found in the boot of a car on the Firhouse Road being returned to the community that is figh…

I wish the Deputy had, but there is another speaker.

The Minister has two minutes to respond because I cut him off earlier.

We are short a speaker in this slot and the Minister has a little extra time.
