I wish to advise the House of the following matters in respect of which notice has been given under Standing Order 37 and the name of the Member in each case: Deputy Marian Harkin - to discuss an alternative location for delivery of day hospital-day services previously delivered in St. Patrick’s Hospital in Carrick-on-Shannon. Deputy Paul McAuliffe - to discuss the issue of a new school build for Gaelscoil Uí Earcáin, Finglas. Deputy Neale Richmond - to discuss the decision of University College Dublin, UCD, to not…

We are way over time.

The Select Committee on Children, Equality, Disability, Integration and Youth has completed its consideration of the Work Life Balance and Miscellaneous Provisions Bill 2022, and has made amendments thereto.

The Select Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine has completed its consideration of the following Supplementary Estimate for Public Services for the service of the year ending on 31 December 2022: Vote 30 - Agriculture, Food and the Marine

The Minister has a great interest in the roll-out of park-and-ride facilities in Galway. Will he update me on its status? I believe it has been presented to the city and county councils, so I do not need to put that question. What is the status of the site options analysis and feasibility study of each of the zones identified? I cannot convey my frustration enough at the slow pace of the roll-out.

Will the Minister at any stage depart from the script and give his opinion on Galway city, which is choked by traffic and one of five cities destined to grow? Park-and-ride facilities have been in its development plans since 2005 and we are now in 2022. The one glaring error in the Minister's script was the statement that the NTA had "long recognised the importance of high-capacity park-and-ride facilities". No one has recognised it except the councillors in Galway and the people who included such facilities in the…

I will try to do the topic justice in one minute. Management and Government policy has gone down the route of an outer bypass and pursued no other solution. All of the other solutions are premised on the outer bypass, which is about to be quashed by An Bord Pleanála. A decision will have to be made on whether to send the proposal back to An Bord Pleanála after the board ignored what management in Galway city and county councils called a technical or narrow issue, namely, climate change. That is the mentality that i…

As we are almost out of time, Deputy Costello will have only one opportunity to contribute on the next question.

Táimid ag bogadh ar aghaidh-----

Tá mé ag bogadh ar aghaidh.

Tá mé ag dul ar aghaidh go dtí an chéad cheist eile.

Deputy, I am moving on.

I call Deputy Barry, who is not to be interrupted.

Members, can we have co-operation please?

Tánaiste, can we have co-operation please?

I have called Deputy Barry.

We are moving on to Deputy Barry, who is to be uninterrupted.

The word "hypocrite" was used and the Deputy was named. I ask the Tánaiste to withdraw his comments.

Deputies, please.

Could we do this without interruption? I really do not want to stand up. Tánaiste, there is one issue here in relation to alleging or calling the Deputy a "hypocrite". I did not want to go into the salient rulings of the Chair, but I have them here. You are precluded from calling her that. I am simply asking you to withdraw it. The relevant ruling specifically is Salient Ruling No. 428. The word "hypocrite" amongst others is not acceptable. Will you withdraw that, please?
