I would appreciate it if the Minister of State could zone in on my question. We will hear a lot about the national strategy on violence that is to be published but my question is about the status of the audit into the way responsibility for domestic, sexual and gender-based violence is segmented across different State agencies. I ask the Minister of State to give me a very specific answer on that, amidst whatever else she is going to tell me.

It might be helpful for the Deputies here if the Minister of State explained the process. Deputy Cairns may also wish to contribute.

Lovely. Does that mean I get all the extra time?

The specific question I asked concerned the audit. The Minister of State is telling me that the draft is there. When was that draft presented to the Department? When will it be published? This is one of several actions in this context, as the Minister of State said. We are waiting on the audit of the available emergency accommodation for victims of sexual and gender-based domestic violence from Tusla. I asked about that matter yesterday. That is not available yet either. We know all the figures, and we know that th…

I thank the Minister of State for that response. I appreciate it, and I know she understands the urgency associated with this issue. However, I have heard the word "shortly" already in respect of the promise from Tusla on emergency accommodation. I think at least nine counties have no refuges at all for victims of domestic violence. We have all the numbers from which we could quote, but it is doing a disservice for us, myself included, to quote these figures in a bland sort of way, given the amount of violence and …

Allow the Tánaiste to respond.

Allow the Tánaiste to respond.

I gently remind Members there is no coming in on a question and we will conclude within the time.

Deputy Murnane O'Connor will conclude. I am going by a list in front of me. I will let the Deputy in but I was not informed of her question. I need co-operation from Deputies. That was not evident earlier this week. This is the last question.

Is the Bill opposed?

Since this is a Private Members' Bill, Second Stage must, under Standing Orders, be taken in Private Members' time.

Anois beidh sos 40 nóiméad againn, agus é tuillte againn.

I think I just have a minute or two. I stole time from my colleague.

I did not mean to; I only wanted a minute. I thank Deputy Pringle. I am only raising one specific issue and it is to do with psychologists and a new panel. It has arisen because of the changes in the panel system and because of the cyberattack. We have no other way of raising this. We have tried bringing it to the Minister's attention but the emails are being rejected. That is the reason I am using this time but it is directly related to mental health. According to the Health Service Executive website, all existing…

I move: That Dáil Éireann: notes: — that Ireland’s first National Maternity Strategy, Creating A Better Future Together 2016-2026, was launched by the Government on 27th January, 2016; — that the strategy acknowledges that various reports and reviews highlighted significant service deficits and failings which undermined confidence in our maternity services and staff morale, including: — a lack of choice for expectant mothers; — inadequate emphasis on general health and wellbeing; — ageing infrastructure; — poor sta…

I concur completely with my colleague. What has happened is most unfair.

I would have thought that sometimes, on the odd occasions when we run over time, there is discretion. I have exercised that discretion in my capacity as Leas-Cheann Comhairle. I would have liked to have heard my colleague's opinion and views. She has signed the motion.

I will hand back to my colleague.

I thank all my colleagues, and indeed, the Ministers, for their support of the motion. I welcome that; it is certainly positive. The urgent nature of it is lacking, however. In its report, HIQA said the implementation of the recommendations was an imperative. I see no time span and no sense of urgency. Right up until February 20, or shortly before that, the driving body, that is, the national women and infants health programme, could not report precisely to HIQA what the report was. We need the implementation of a …

Baineann mo cheist le foiréigean baile agus le foiréigean inscne agus an tuarascáil atá geallta ó Tusla maidir le leordhóthanacht na tithe éigeandála. My question relates to a promised report from Tusla on the adequacy of accommodation for victims of domestic and gender-based violence. It has been promised for some time. I understood it was to be published on 17 May and then somewhat later than that. Will the Taoiseach give me an update on the stádas na tuarascála sin?
