Arís, baineann mo cheist le cúrsaí tithíochta agus leis an ngéarchéim tithíochta. Tá an t-ábhar seo ardaithe go mion minic agam ag an leibhéal seo, i gceisteanna don Taoiseach agus i ngach díospóireacht sa Dáil. Arís inniu, tá an cheist á ardú agam maidir leis an ngéarchéim tithíochta go náisiúnta agus go háirid i nGaillimh, áit a bhfuil daoine ag fanacht níos mó ná 15 bliain le teach a fháil. I raise the housing emergency once again. Like other Deputies on the left, I have raised it continuously any chance I get. …

The fundamental problem is that the Government and previous Governments have commodified housing. They have decided it is a commodity to be sold and traded. Each Government one after the other has had housing policies backing that up to ensure that ordinary people would not be able to buy a house or rent a house. In Galway the task force has told us that the rent crisis has risen 97%. The Taoiseach should listen to that. It is more than 97% higher than in 2012, and we have two units, to use the language of the Gove…

Is this Questions Nos. 11 to 15?

Are we doing Nos. 5 to 10?

Yes. I call Deputy Kelly.

There is a little confusion. I just came in. Questions Nos. 1 to 4 and Nos. 5 to 10 have been dealt with. We are moving on to Nos. 11 to 15 and Deputy Kelly does not feature in those questions. I am not sure where the confusion lies but I want to get it straight. The Taoiseach ranked Nos. 11 to 15 together, is that right?

That is fine. He is just not on the list. We are on Nos. 11 to 15. Deputy Kelly has spoken. Let me read out what I have before me. We are on Questions Nos. 11 to 15. It is Deputies McDonald, Paul Murphy, Boyd Barrett, Catherine Murphy and Barry.

We will not argue. I am only clarifying.

Lovely. I call Deputy Boyd Barrett.

Okay. I call Deputy Bríd Smith.

I thank the Taoiseach.

I thank the Taoiseach.

I thank the Taoiseach. We are going to move on. That completes questions to the Taoiseach.

Go raibh maith agat, a Theachta.

Maybe I could take some time of the Deputies who did not show up, with the Ceann Comhairle's indulgence. I say that tongue in cheek. I welcome the Minister's written speeches and thank him. I tremble when I hear the Minister for Health saying that it will take weeks, while I understand there are difficulties, until services resume as they were. To put that in context, if one takes just orthopaedics, people are in agony, not according to me but according to a consultant who has written to us repeatedly. Some 1,143 p…

I understand that.

I understand that we are in the middle of a crisis. Just let me put the questions. The Minister of State has confirmed that risk analysis was done repeatedly and that various risks were identified. They were identified for various Departments, agencies and bodies. I look forward to getting details on that at a more opportune moment. There would have been a risk analysis with regard to the National Cyber Security Centre itself, which is underresourced and understaffed. Presumably that was part of the capacity review…

My question was about why it was not published. The Minister of State is telling me it was because of Covid. I do not accept that. Covid did not interfere with the completion of this. It was extremely important to complete this capacity review, which I presume is limited, because it is simply about capacity. We are talking about the risk of the computer system. Deputy Cullinane already asked the question about Windows 7 and the failure to upgrade. What risks were associated with that? Was there a risk analysis? We …

The replies leave a lot to be desired. In my last 30 seconds, I refer to State security. We have ignored the risks that existed. We have put patients at risk on top of a pandemic and they have been extremely patient. The doctors told us that the situation in Galway was intolerable and now, on top of that, because we have failed to analyse the risk of putting all our eggs into one type of computer system that was utterly deficient and at risk, the Minister of State is telling me he cannot answer a question. For God'…

I will go over time for a second with the Ceann Comhairle's permission. I am not expert in IT and the Minister of State is certainly not coming across as somebody with expertise, but I have expertise in asking questions and getting some accountability. That is what I am attempting to do here.
