Question No. 60 cannot be taken as Deputy Allen is not present. We will proceed to the next question.

I apologise for Deputy Allen who is on his way. Perhaps the House could take the next question and come back to Question No. 60.

We cannot do that. Standing Orders are clear. If the Deputy is not present when the question is called, it falls.

I am aware of that. I thought you, a Leas-Cheann Comhairle, could facilitate him.

The Chair does not have any power to create a precedent.
