What policy changes does the Taoiseach propose to introduce in response to the clamour from his backbenchers? How does he propose to reconcile their demands and his own assertion of opposition to privatisation, specifically in regard to Aer Rianta, with the assertion of the Tánaiste that tough decisions must now be taken, which we all recognise as shorthand for Progressive Democrats decisions that include wholesale privatisation? Does the Taoiseach agree with Deputy McGuinness that the Progressive Democrats would be better referred to as the Oppressive Democrats? Does he agree with Deputy Brendan Smith, my constituency colleague, who said that what is needed is less Progressive Democrats policy? Does he agree with his unsuccessful candidate in the North West constituency, the Minister of State, Deputy McDaid, who said prior to the election that the Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform was wired up to the moon? Many in this House certainly agree with him, but I am anxious to know whether the Taoiseach does. Does the Taoiseach accept that the Fianna Fáil-Progressive Democrats coalition has run its course, overstayed its time and that we are now looking at the end game?

Will the Taoiseach tell us what policy changes in the health area his Government proposes to introduce having come to recognise the reality of people's concern and ire throughout the length and breadth of the State? Will he lead Fianna Fáil into the next general election?

Maybe he will also tell us when he expects that general election to take place.

As I pointed out to Deputy Rabbitte, the Deputy should ask one question on a topical issue.

They were all related to a topical issue.

They may be related but the Deputy asked at least three different questions.

It is difficult for me to answer only one question when the Deputy asked me nine. His first question struck a chord with me. He wanted to know what policy changes I would make. At least I have changed some of my policies; I am still trying to work out what the Deputy's are.

The Taoiseach will be able to answer that question——

Allow the Taoiseach to continue without interruption. If the Taoiseach addressed his remarks through the Chair, it might not provoke interruption from the Deputy.

——when I or one of my colleagues is in his seat in the not too distant future, but for the moment he is the one responsible.

That is putting it up to the Taoiseach.

Now that Deputy Ó Caoláin has said he is going to take over shortly——

We are.

——if one were to add up the seats won by the three parties that had some views about taking over this position, they did not increase. The number of seats won by the Deputy's party did increase. I grant him that, but I look forward to hearing what his policy platform is because I am still trying to work that out.

The Taoiseach should not worry. He does not seem to be able to work out his own policies.

Deputy Ó Caoláin, allow the Taoiseach to continue without interruption.

I have been trying to work that out for seven years.

The Taoiseach seems to have a difficulty when it comes to policy.

I have no doubt it will be flexible. It will be like everything else you like to——

If the Taoiseach addressed his remarks through the Chair, we might not have the level of interruption from the Deputy.

The Taoiseach should answer the questions I asked him.

Deputy Ó Caoláin, allow the Taoiseach to continue without interruption.
