I appreciate the Minister telling us that. Deputy Bennett is next.

Thank you, Deputy Gibney. You are not next, Deputy Boyd Barrett. You are ahead of yourself. We have Deputy Clendennen-----

Yes and with your indulgence, we have a crowd of ladies from Wexford in the Public Gallery, the rural Wexford ladies. You are most welcome. You are in for a thrill when Deputy Boyd Barrett starts to speak but before that, we are going to have Deputy John Clendennen.

Do you mind me asking, for the benefit of the Deputies following, will you be using all of your time?

Okay, thank you, Deputy.

I did not interrupt the Deputy previously and I am loathe to do so now, but I must ask him to qualify, for the purposes of the Official Report, whether he is paraphrasing or quoting directly from speeches that have been made in the Knesset. He has made a few remarks. Will he qualify whether he is paraphrasing or quoting?

That is all I ask. We just have to be careful. Thank you.

Does the Deputy have a document?

Okay.

In accordance with Standing Order 85(2), the division is deferred until tonight's voting bloc. Before we move to Leaders’ Questions, I welcome the teachers and TY students from the Salesian College in Pallaskenry, County Limerick. They are with independent Councillor Tommy Hartigan from Adare-Rathkeale municipal district, who travelled with the group as a past pupil of the school. They are most welcome. There are also a number of staff from Mallow General Hospital here with Deputy Eoghan Kenny. Deputy Cathy Bennett…

Thank you, Deputy. The Taoiseach to respond.
