Excuse me, before we move on, will the Leas-Cheann Comhairle please remind Members to turn off their mobile phones in the Chamber? It is disrespectful-----

Please, let us have a little respect during Leaders' Questions. We have all been caught with phones. Could we now please just double-check that all the phones are off? Go raibh mile maith agat. Táimid ag bogadh ar aghaidh go dtí an Teachta Cian O'Callaghan.
