I want to make a couple of comments in respect of the Business Committee because I have the responsibility of chairing it. I had the experience before that of being an Opposition Whip in the ancient, previous regimes. The truth of the matter is that the Business Committee is far from perfect but it has worked pretty effectively. I take Deputy Catherine Murphy's point. It worked far more effectively in the previous Dáil, because of the exigencies of the situation at the time, than it works now. However, I would say …

I have no comment to make on anyone else, good, bad or indifferent. The Whip has tried to take on board, from the Government's perspective, the matters that have been raised.

Thank you, Deputy. I certainly take it that the business before us is the important matter. I am simply trying to clarify in respect of the Business Committee. I do take it that is not the important issue that is before us. It is, as you set out, Deputy McDonald. I call the Minister of State.
