We are way over time. The Deputy will get a chance to come back in.

The Minister will be able to come back in.

He has the opportunity.

I understand that amendments Nos. 5 to 7, inclusive, are being discussed together. It is late and I am not going to speak too long to these amendments. I have said all that I have to say about this Bill. It is unfortunate that the defence we sought was removed; it should have been treated as an exemption if one is a humanitarian organisation or acting for humanitarian purposes. We have lost that. Amendments Nos. 5 to 7, inclusive, are very basic amendments. I understand the Minister of State does not propose to acc…

I move amendment No. 6: In page 11, after line 40, to insert the following: “ Report on training 11 . The Minister shall, within 12 months of the passing of this Act, lay a report before both Houses of the Oireachtas outlining— (a) the training provided to frontline staff involved in the identification of smuggled persons, (b) measures which may be taken to improve such training in particular in relation to the provision of supports that a smuggled person may need in order to exercise their rights under internation…

I move amendment No. 7: In page 11, after line 40, to insert the following: “ Report on identification of smuggled persons 11 . The Minister shall, within 12 months of the passing of this Act, lay a report before both Houses of the Oireachtas setting out proposals to strengthen the identification of smuggled persons and the potential for human rights experts from non-governmental organisations to assist in identification and support of smuggled persons.”.

We are more than halfway through the national maternity strategy and we have made no progress on the acquisition of a site for the national maternity hospital, which was recommended as far back as 2008 in the KPMG report. Will the Taoiseach confirm whether, after all the delays, we are almost there in terms of implementing the national maternity strategy and purchasing a site so that we can have a State-run public national maternity hospital on a State-owned site?

Will the Taoiseach answer the question?

I know all of that. I have read-----

What about my question?

I am sorry, but I missed the answer completely.

I am sorry, we are way over time.

We are running out of time.

Can we do this through the Chair? We now have the last group of questions and we are running out of time.

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) Deputies Ruairí Ó Murchú, Joan Collins, Paul Donnelly, Aengus Ó Snodaigh and Mark Ward - to discuss the planned removal of the community and voluntary addiction network groups from the national oversight committee; (2) Deputy Michael Moynihan - to discuss the status of the neuro-rehabilitation strategy; (3) Deputy Éamon Ó Cuív - to discuss ensuring enough…

Baineann mo cheist le hInis Meáin agus an fhorbairt atá beartaithe ar an gcéibh ansin, sé sin, an Caladh Mór. Tá mé ag iarraidh stádas na forbartha sin a fháil amach. I am just seeking clarification on the proposed works on the Caladh Mór pier in Inis Meáin. It is the third phase of the development so I ask the Minister to be specific.

I am hoping that some day I will get an answer about the deadline for this project. This is the third phase for Inis Meáin. This has been going on for years and that is the exact same answer my colleagues got about it. I understand that, because maybe not much progress has been made. Can the Minister tell me what progress has been made on the work being done by the National Maritime College of Ireland? When will it be completed? Most important, what money will be allocated? Has money been put aside for this develop…

Cuirim fáilte go raibh an tAire ar an oileán. Is maith an rud é go bhfaca sí rudaí ar an talamh agus go bhfuil tuiscint níos fearr aici orthu. I welcome that the Minister was on the island and that she has a better understanding of the matter but neither she nor I are experts in this area. I appreciate that completely. This is very specific, especially as it goes back such a long time and the development has not been completed. When will the work of the maritime college in Cork be finished? Is the council working o…

I welcome the progress on this and the Minister's commitment to it. As he knows, it follows on from 21 years of an unjust and unjustified system. It follows on from the McMahon report in 2015, which made 173 recommendations; the Oireachtas report of former Deputy Ó Caoláin, an excellent report; the report from Dr. Catherine Day; and the White Paper from the Minister. I am mentioning only some of the reports. The Minister has a job on his hands because we have a major housing crisis. I appreciate that. I mentioned a…

I thank the Minister, and for his clarification also on the independent advisory group. Will those minutes or reports be available publicly so that we can see them? It is not that I do not trust the Minister but we have had 21 years dealing with this issue. Even when I outlined the reports I forgot to mention the Ombudsman’s many reports on it and I am sure that I have not mentioned other reports. When one looks at the International Protection Accommodation Services reports, we got one back in November 2018. We wer…
