There is limited time. There is a guillotine.

I know but I have an obligation to tell you that we are discussing amendments and we must stick to them.

Does Deputy Boyd Barrett have a question?

I wish to speak briefly to those amendments on the preservation of records. I am on record for welcoming this and saying it has to be done. I do not appreciate the way it is being done. I understand the Minister is under pressure now and it has to be done. In relation to the preservation of records, it is urgent. When the mother and baby home report was published in 2021, I was critical of its recommendations, which were mixed up with conclusions and not very clear. The one that jumped out was that the religious or…

I thank the Minister for giving some clarification on that. I note that they have had success in Northern Ireland in encouraging people to come forward. Unfortunately that is not our experience in Ireland. It is not the experience of Dr. Mark Coen and what he found on the grounds of the laundry in Dublin. I know from the McAleese report that the Magdalen laundry in Galway distinguished itself by an absence of documents, along with another laundry, the name of which I cannot remember. The two were singled out for an…

Amendments Nos. 1 to 7, inclusive, amendment No. 1 to amendment No. 7, amendments Nos. 8 to 23, inclusive, and amendments Nos. 34, 64 and 75 are related and may be discussed together.

Go raibh maith agat. The next three speakers are Deputies Tóibín, Danny Healy-Rae and Catherine Murphy.

Anois, an Teachta Danny Healy-Rae. I point out for the record and generally for the House that we are speaking on amendments Nos. 1 to 7, inclusive, amendment No. 1 to amendment No. 7, amendments Nos. 8 to 23, inclusive, amendment No. 34, amendment No. 64 and amendment No. 75. Somebody might surprise me.

I will wait a minute before calling on the Minister of State. There is another group of speakers indicated who are not here. I know they have been caught unawares because the debate has moved quickly. I will proceed to the Minister of State in the next minute or two if nobody comes in.

The division will be taken tomorrow, immediately prior to Committee Stage of the Bill.

An bhfuil éinne ag iarraidh teacht isteach?

An bhfuil éinne eile ag iarraidh teacht isteach? Níl. The Minister to conclude.

There has been a technical issue with the distribution of the Government amendment. It is being emailed now and a hard copy will be available soon.

Is that agreed? Agreed.

Deputy, please.

Deputy, please let the Minister finish.

Deputy Ó Broin, there is a chairperson here.

Can Members address each other through the Chair?

Deputy, you are using up the time. I am going to let the clock run.

I thank Sinn Féin for this opportunity but share the same concerns as my colleague, Deputy Collins, about the particular motion. I welcome Sinn Féin's work on this and the opportunity to speak on it. If we take any report, such as the Housing Commission report, they ask for a reset of policy. We have never discussed this. I will take more recent reports, such as the report from the European Federation of National Organisations Working with the Homeless from August 2024. It found that: Ireland has experienced a dras…
