Likewise, Deputy Darren O'Rourke is here to introduce Question No. 93 and Deputy Pádraig O'Sullivan is here to introduce Question No. 98.

Martin Kenny: I take it that the Minister of State was not expecting us to reach Question No. 91, which relates to participation in libraries around the country, the number of people who are members of our libraries and how much they are used.

Catherine Connolly: Okay. We are in the same position regarding all the questions after that. We have Deputy O'Rourke and Deputy O'Sullivan in the Chamber. I understand the Minister of State's dilemma. Does Deputy O'Rourke want to refer briefly to Question No. 93?
