There is a special gathering in the Public Gallery today with Deputy Peter "Chap" Cleere. I do not think I have ever heard him mention Boolyglass but he has mentioned every other part of the constituency. I wish a happy 70th birthday to Tom Dalton from Boolyglass, County Kilkenny. Enjoy your day.

Deputy, please. This is the wrong forum for that interaction.
The Deputies are only delaying the next question.

This is not a debate.
Ah please, Deputy, we have to get through this.
Taoiseach, are we moving on?
Please move on, Taoiseach.

Seven more Deputies, Taoiseach.
There are seven more Deputies to answer, Taoiseach.
