No, it is not agreed. This is the second or third occasion recently on which time has been extended in the Dáil to debate issues. I have no problem with that but, although I have asked the Taoiseach and Ministers on those occasions when time would be made available for an emergency debate on the debacle that is Irish Water and all to do with it, especially the attempt to austerity-tax more people, I have not been facilitated. Leaders' Questions is not a substitute, nor is Private Members' time.

We now face a spectacle of Government Deputies and Ministers complaining about the Frankenstein's monster they created-----

Sorry, we are not going to discuss Irish Water.

-----because it is setting about gouging the people by putting in place structures to levy this new tax.

The Deputy may not use this opportunity to talk about Irish Water. He knows that as well as I do and he is long enough around now. He should not try to cod me. I gave the Deputy an opportunity. He is opposing the Order of Business.

What I am talking about is-----

We are not having a debate on Irish Water.

We should be.

I assure Deputy Coppinger that Deputy Joe Higgins is well able to look after himself.

Joe, speak up for yourself.

Whether we should have a debate is a matter for another day. I am talking about the extension of time to deal with a particular item of business. Please let us stick to that.

I will not get into the substantive issue, obviously, but it is clear that with revolt spreading from one corner of the country to the other-----

The Deputy can raise that in some other way.

-----the people's Parliament should discuss it. When will we have time made available? Can the Taoiseach tell us that-----

That is on the Order of Business.

-----before we agree to today's extra time?

The proposal is being opposed. Does the Taoiseach have anything to say on it?

The agenda is flooded with opportunities to discuss Irish Water.

Smart-alecry will not save the Taoiseach from the wrath of the people.

Is the proposal for dealing with Nos. 11 and 16 without debate agreed to? Agreed.

Is the proposal for dealing with No. 27 agreed to? Agreed. I call Deputy Martin on the Order of Business.
