I take it from the Minister's response he does not know if the women have changed their mind and are engaging in this process. On his communication with the independent review group, a process is in place to ensure there are minutes and a record of his interaction with that group, which will be available. I welcome that the monthly meetings and monthly reports are coming in as per the terms and the six-month and 12-month reports are on target. My final issue relates to what themes or issues have arisen, if any, in …

When will the third national strategy to tackle domestic, sexual and gender-based violence be published? It is self-evident as to why we need it. A report from the Department of Justice found a lack of effective oversight of the implementation of the second strategy, a fragmented approach and a lack of action on decades of recommendations. In 1997, we had a task force and here we are in 2022. Specifically, when will the report be published? It was due before the end of last year. We were promised it at the end of A…

I am afraid Deputy Carroll MacNeill has less time.

It is statements and questions and answers. It is up to the Deputy how he proceeds.

We are out of time. We will return to the formalities of the Dáil whereby speakers stand. I am speaking to both sides of the debate. We must keep some formality in the debate.

That is okay. I am talking about every side. I call Deputy Shortall.

I have three and half minutes and I could make a lot of comments but I will try to be focused. I have read and struggled through the documents as best I can and what I see before me is that an unholy mess has been created. I have with me just some of the documents we have tried to download on the computer. That unholy mess completely suits the entity that is St. Vincent's Holdings, under the St. Vincent's Healthcare Group, and under that the new maternity hospital DAC, each of which is a complete subsidiary of the …

I will finish up. Leasehold is not ownership; it is leasehold of the land. We do not even own the hospital. The Minister might say it is technical but there is no ownership here whatsoever. We finish up by going around in a circle and blame those who dare to ask a question. Does the Minister know when I despaired the most? It was when the deputy chair of the National Maternity Hospital went on the national airwaves to reassure us. I have to say, quite honestly and openly, a Cheann Comhairle, that I thought, sweet J…

It is to serve the interests of St. Vincent's Healthcare Group, which is owned by St. Vincent's Holdings CLG. I thank the Ceann Comhairle for his tolerance.

I absolutely intend to take issue with his reassurance.

I am sure he is a lovely man. I do not know him.

I wish to advise the House of the following matters in respect of which notice has been given under Standing Order 37A and the name of the Member in each case: (1) Deputy Christopher O'Sullivan - to discuss the need for repair works on the old Keelbeg pier in Union Hall; (2) Deputy Brian Stanley - to ask the Minister for Health to discuss the future of the mental health facility, Erkina House, in Rathdowney, County Laois; (3) Deputy Holly Cairns - to discuss traffic calming and safety infrastructure in Drimoleague,…

We are over time. I ask the Minister to conclude as briefly as possible.

We are a little behind schedule, so I ask for full co-operation, on every side, regarding the time limits. I call Deputy McDonald.

Time is up, Deputy.

I thank the Deputy and call the Taoiseach.

I thank the Taoiseach.

Táimid ag bogadh ar aghaidh go dtí an chéad cheist eile.

I thank the Taoiseach. I am moving on.

We are over time. Much as I would like to let it run, I call Deputy Cian O'Callaghan.
