Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate
Dail Éireann — 2021-05-20
============================================================

Bernard Durkan (CC), Kildare North

The Minister is present for the first Topical Issue matter raised by Deputy Whitmore.

Jennifer Whitmore (SD), Wicklow

The Minister is not here.

Bernard Durkan (CC), Kildare North

I think he is.

Eamon Ryan (GP), Dublin Bay South

I am here to take a later Topical Issue matter. I do not have a response for Deputy Whitmore. Does the Acting Chairman want to take my Topical Issue matter, after which I hope the other Minister will be here?

Bernard Durkan (CC), Kildare North

We have to wait until the appropriate Minister is here to answer. The Minister, Deputy Ryan, will not take this matter.

Eamon Ryan (GP), Dublin Bay South

I do not have the information.

Jennifer Whitmore (SD), Wicklow

I am happy if the Acting Chairman wants to take the Topical Issue matter raised with the Minister, Deputy Ryan, before mine so we are not holding people up. We can swap.

Bernard Durkan (CC), Kildare North

We will adjourn for a minute to give everybody a chance to get their information ready.
