Deputy Murphy missed his priority question.

I will break some of the rules as we are near the end. I ask the Deputy to be as brief as possible. I will then move on to Deputy Ó Cathasaigh.

I inadvertently forgot that Deputy Claire Kerrane has the next question. We will then move on to Deputy Ó Cathasaigh.

I am anxious to get to one more question. I will only allow Deputy Durkan to have a brief comment.

Deputy Marc Ó Cathasaigh can pick from four questions. He will have limited time, however.

Deputy Marc Ó Cathasaigh will only get one chance to reply.

I thank the Minister of State for his reply and taking a hands-on approach. I am afraid my praise stops at this point because we will discuss sludge. It is very difficult to make out what is happening in Galway. We have a water treatment plan, which is good. It is working and it is fine, but there has been no upgrading of anything since 2006. I have a reply from the Minister of State setting out, I presume, a reply from Uisce Éireann. I also have a contribution to the public accounts committee, to which I will retu…

There are two siphons under the Corrib and we are saying one of them has been reported as defective.

I thank the Minister of State for his comments. This is of critical importance because the growth of Galway, which I believe should be done in a sustainable way, cannot happen. The population is not growing at the rate expected because of the failure to remediate defective infrastructure. I heard the Minister of State say he will go back to Irish Water. I wish him good luck because Irish Water has given many responses and has told us at the public accounts committee that what I am raising is wrong and it is telling…

There are two siphons and one of them is the major one that has been highlighted.

To be helpful, could the Minister of State come back with commentary on the reports that have been carried out for Uisce Éireann, including the one I mentioned and all other recent reports it has commissioned on this issue?

Earlier the Taoiseach took exception to somebody quoting their gospel. Let me quote the gospel of HIQA and a report that was issued today about University Hospital Galway. It states that: "the risk of compromised quality and safety of patient care due to insufficient capacity to manage demand in the emergency department [is] one of the highest rated risks on the hospital's corporate risk register." The accident and emergency department, which is a new temporary one, is simply not functioning properly. This report f…

Amendments Nos. 1 to 6, inclusive, and 8 to 11, inclusive, are related and may be discussed together.

I was giving the Minister some leeway but there is no more leeway. The Minister has time to address the amendments. There is no time limit but we are not addressing the amendments and we are setting a precedent for other Members.

It has already been done. I gave some leniency but it would be helpful-----

Deputy, these are very specific amendments and I am going to have to hold you to them.
