Priority questions procedure
The Chair checks who will answer questions, and Deputy English says he can take Question No. 3 if Deputies agree. Deputy O'Reilly and Deputy Ó Ríordáin confirm they are happy to proceed.
We are beginning with questions to the Minister for Enterprise, Trade and Employment. Is the Minister of State, Deputy English, taking the questions or is it the Minister, Deputy Varadkar?

The Tánaiste was hoping to join us, but he does not happen to be here. If you wish to take Question No. 3 first, a Leas-Cheann Comhairle, I could take it, if that is agreeable to Deputies?

Yes, indeed I am. I am very agreeable to that.
