I wish to make a statement to the whole House and the Office of the Ceann Comhairle in particular. Most days, priority questions drift beyond the allocated 30 minutes, which means many of us cannot get questions in. Can we discuss staying within Standing Orders to ensure priority question time does not drift to an hour? Although Standing Orders allocate 30 minutes for priority questions, it drifts, and today it was 20 minutes over time, which meant at least four or five ordinary questions were not reached.

Stay to it, like the Order of Business.

It is unfair on those of us who go to the trouble of asking questions.

I am being a little more indulgent today. I will take it up with the Ceann Comhairle. Technically, 32.5 minutes are allocated for the first five priority questions, given that half a minute is allocated for an introduction to each question.
