Lucrative deals for a small group of people making millionaires out of them.

The Deputies must come up with something better.

The Minister of State, Deputy Stanton, without interruption.

I ask Deputies to not use the word "herding". That is not the case.

On a point of order, the Order of Business is a most unsatisfactory way of dealing with an important issue. I ask that the Deputies who wish to raise this issue might do so by way of Topical Issue and substantive debate.

I object to that. That is outrageous.

Let the Minister or his representative-----

This is a lucrative deal.

Let the Minister's party and other parties find a better way. I am trying to implement the rules of the House and if there are Members here trying to circumvent them, I cannot think in advance for anybody. I am trying to advise Members to ask questions on the Order of Business or the programme for Government and I can do nothing more than that.

This is not appropriate to the Order of Business.

It certainly is appropriate. On a point of order, it is in the programme for Government.

I will allow questions relating to the programme for Government. That is the custom but if Members have difficulties, there is another forum where they can deal with this.

We have only one minute left. I will take a decision today I never took previously, that is, to cut it off. I call Deputy Cahill.
