I thank the Cathaoirleach Gníomhach.

I will put it to the Cathaoirleach Gníomhach. In fairness to the Minister of State, he has been honest and direct. It is now 12.09 a.m. and I have spent five or six hours at committee meetings and then waited five or six hours to do this now.

Wait a second though; the floor is mine but the Minister of State is saying that I withdrew this matter. I did not. It is on the system, as we can see with our own eyes. Obviously, I would expect the Minister of State to have a briefing. In actual fact, I believe the Minister or the Minister of State responding should be from the relevant Department. Is there any point in me doing this now? Where will this go if I do not take it this evening? Will it be prioritised?

When will that be? The next round will be at 9 a.m. It is now 12.10 a.m. It is after midnight.

I want to know what happened here.

To be fair to the Minister of State, he can only sit and listen to me. He is not even from the right Department. I will be sharing information. He will not be able to respond on the fly. It is detailed information. He will not be able to respond because he has no briefing and is not from the relevant Department, and it is now ten minutes past midnight. I was told by the Ceann Comhairle this morning, in writing, that my matter had been picked. I met the Ceann Comhairle and she told me in passing that it had been picked. I have waited all these hours to do this. It is up on the system, yet the Minister of State was not informed and we have no information or reply. What is the point in my going ahead? I want to know what relief I will get and what happened.

At what time will I be informed in the morning? Will it be at 8.55 a.m.? This is farcical.
Sentiment score: 0.00
I am not being difficult, but for this to happen at this hour of the night or morning - and I am not blaming the Minister of State - is farcical. It is an absolute farce to be waiting for all these hours and then be left in this situation. I do not see the point in proceeding.

I do not know.

Let me just have it documented that it is a farce to be left here until 12.10 a.m., waiting for hours, and then treated like this. In what other work environment would people be treated like this? We are all into family friendly environments.

I do not have patience.
