I have to point it out with regard to what the Deputy is saying.

The Deputy made serious and specific allegations regarding corruption. There is a risk of individuals being identified with those allegations. I ask that the Deputy withdraw them. I understand his passion.

That is okay. The Deputy will withdraw the allegation.

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: (1) Deputy Sean Sherlock - to ask the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine on the current status of the Brexit adjustment reserve; (2) Deputy Michael Creed - to ask the Minister for Education if she will urgently review the design brief in respect of a new school in County Cork (details supplied) given the current enrolment and the projected populati…

I move: That Dáil Éireann: notes: - that Ireland signed the United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (UNCRPD) in 2007 and ratified the UNCRPD in 2018; - that, notwithstanding a commitment in the Programme for Government: Our Shared Future in 2020, Ireland has not yet signed or ratified the Optional Protocol to the UNCRPD, making Ireland one of just three European Union member states to have taken no action in this regard; - that, pursuant to the UNCRPD, Ireland is obliged to ensure assis…

I thank all the Members for their very helpful and supportive contributions. I was more hopeful at the beginning than at the end of the Minister of State's contribution. The tabling of this motion was an attempt to put a spotlight on the situation relating to respite, the dreadful situation on the ground and the inconsistency from county to county. Deputy Sherlock talked about recruitment issues. I agree with him but there is a bigger and more fundamental problem, which is there is no recognition of the essential n…

Seanad Éireann has passed the Competition (Amendment) Bill 2022 without amendment.

The Select Committee on Transport and Communications has completed its consideration of the Road Traffic and Roads Bill 2021 and has made amendments thereto.

This 30-minute debate is simply on the four amendments.

Yes. A message will be sent to the Seanad.

No.

As matters stand, we are dealing with the amendments that have come back from the Seanad. The only thing before me are those four amendments.

No, it does not.

There has already been a vote, if memory serves me correctly.

All that process has been gone through. The Bill is back in the House simply in respect of the four amendments.

Agreement to the Seanad amendments is reported to the House. A message will be sent to Seanad Éireann acquainting it accordingly.

Amendment No. 1 is out of order as it is outside the scope of the Bill.

Amendments Nos. 2, 5, 6, 13, 16, 22, 28, 29, 35, 37, 39, 40, 58, 59, 62 and 130 are related and may be discussed together.

These amendments are being discussed together. If Deputies do not discuss them now, they will not get a chance to do so later.

No, the Deputy had a few seconds left. In case there is a misunderstanding, all of these amendments are grouped and have to be discussed now. If the Deputies do not wish to discuss them, that is fine, but when we come to them later, we will simply be deciding on them.
