Deputy Tully is down for one of these grouped questions, Question No. 19. The other Members ahead of her are not here so I think she will be taking the 30 seconds.

Again, I am going back to the question arising from Professor Mahony's report and one of his 17 recommendations and conclusions. It relates to the payment of €3,000. I have had the privilege of hearing the Minister's reply previously. I am happy with that reply. The content is perfect. He set out the answer. However, he is doing so in a way that does not take cognisance of the 17 recommendations which said that doing nothing is not an option. That is also set out in the context of delays to date. I ask the Minister…

We know that the potential extent of illegal birth registrations is huge. We know from the independent reviewer in Northern Ireland that there could be up to 20,000 cases or more. If we do not examine, we cannot find. The three monkeys come to mind. I mean that not in a disparaging way, but it seems to be a case of see, hear and do no evil. If we do not look, we cannot find. The report from Professor O'Mahony in September was not published until March. That came on foot of the independent reviewer's report from Nor…

I appreciate that the Minister is doing his best, but I ask him to forgive my frustration given the context. At every step of the way there has been a delay. The Minister has to acknowledge that. Professor O'Mahony's report is dated September and was not published until St. Patrick's week. I understand a lady asked for her name not be mentioned, which is the reason I have not mentioned it. I have asked the Minister to confirm whether she asked for her name to be taken from the independent review that she carried ou…

We are over the allotted time. I have already given an extra minute. We must move on unless the Minister has something brief to add.

Two Deputies tabled the questions.

I ask Members on both sides of the House to co-operate with the time limits.

I thank the Minister. We are over time.

Go raibh maith agat. Tá an t-am imithe.

The Minister to respond.

I ask Members to comply with the time constraints. I call the Minister.

I am moving on. Go raibh maith agaibh.

We are over time.

I thank the Deputy. We are over time. The Minister should respond.

I thank the Deputy. We are over time.

Is the Minister giving his time to the Deputy?

We are out of time. I thank the Minister.

We are now eating into-----

I call on the Deputy and the Minister to resume their seats. We are going to move on. There is one minute remaining. Those on either side can either answer or put a question, but my job is to watch the time in order that other Deputies also have an opportunity to contribute. I am moving on to Deputy Cairns of the Social Democrats.

As there are no other speakers, that concludes the debate.
