I extend my congratulations to the new Tánaiste, Deputy Joan Burton, on her elevation. She clearly received an overwhelming endorsement from Labour Party activists across the country. It is the pinnacle of a long career and she has enjoyed very good support from her family and friends. I wish her the very best in her portfolio and in her role as Tánaiste, giving very strong support to the Taoiseach no doubt in the months ahead. In that context, will the Taoiseach ever take other Ministers out of their prolonged misery? It is very disconcerting and discomforting-----

He cannot do it on the Order of Business.

-----for members of the Opposition to have to watch on a daily basis the very pained look on certain individuals coming into the House who are living in a kind of limbo-land in terms of whether they will survive. We are very concerned-----

The Deputy might tell us how to do it. He did a good job on that.

It has been heartening to see almost the full complement of the Labour Party members come into the House for the first time in a long time-----

Do the Deputy's colleagues present comprise the full complement of the Fianna Fáil Party?

-----to witness the elevation of the Tánaiste.

We are on the Order of Business.

Our day will come too, Ruairí.

Let us quieten down and get back to business.

To stay within the parameters of the Order of Business-----

I would appreciate that very much.

-----to which I am leading, the Taoiseach might indicate when he intends to bring resolutions before the House to give effect to the long speculated Cabinet reshuffle. Will the Opposition be given due new notice in terms of the timelines for debate and contributions on what will be a substantive debate on the issues surrounding that Cabinet reshuffle? We have some idea who will be coming in. Deputy Quinn has resigned and I wish him the best.

This is not really relevant to the Order of Business.

The Minister of State, Deputy Kelly, has already announced unilaterally that he is going into Cabinet.

He did that about a month ago.

He did that on the day he got elected here.

Deputy Martin has had his say.

The Minister, Deputy Reilly, is ringing all round him. I do not know who among those who have been talked out will talk themselves back in but in any event it would be useful if the Taoiseach could bring that to a conclusion and let us know when we can expect to hear that.

On a need to know basis.

In a more serious vein, although my first issue is a serious one, the second issue I wish to raise-----

Seeing as the first two were out of order, the Deputy might be in order on his third one.
