I ask Deputies for co-operation on time now.

I thank the Deputy.

I thank the Deputy. I have to move on.

I thank the Deputy.

This is a very specific issue.

I am finding myself having to stop the Deputy.

There are ten contributors and we are running out of time. There is up to one minute for each contributor.

Deputy Murnane O'Connor is down as sharing time but she is on her own for the moment.

Be careful in relation to people's identities.

I have no problem with the situation; I just do not want anyone identified.

I welcome the opportunity to speak on these statements on Housing for All. I would have thought the topic might have changed given the commission report. I look at the Minister's opening statement again, as I do with all speeches. I listen to them and I read them. I am told by the Minister that Housing for All is working. I cannot imagine how the narrative in this speech could continue after we have seen the leaked part of the commission's statement. We are told Housing for All is working. I can tell the Minister o…

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: Deputy Pádraig Mac Lochlainn - To discuss the closing of the pollack fishery and the collapse in shellfish prices for the inshore fishing industry. Deputy Mairéad Farrell - To discuss the provision of the special language class for Scoil Chaitríona, Renmore, Galway. Deputy Éamon Ó Cuív - To discuss the need to issue new wind energy guidelines. Deputy Joe McHu…

Fortunately, or unfortunately, in my rush, I have come in without glasses. I want to pick up from where I left off earlier. I thank Sinn Féin for this motion. It allows me to go into a little more detail, maybe with less passion than earlier. We had the report of the Housing Commission today and I look forward to reading the whole document. We already referred to the most important point made, namely, its call for a radical reset of housing policy. I have stood opposite the Minister of State repeatedly begging and …

My question relates to what engagement the Minister for Finance has had with the NTMA around ensuring the agency divests from all Ireland Strategic Investment Fund global portfolio investments in companies on the UN Human Rights Council database of enterprises. What is the expected timeline for the total divestment? I ask this in the context of the resolution that was passed more than eight years ago by the UN council.

I thank the Minister for the update on that. The background to this is the UN council and the particular committee, which set out 112 businesses. That was published in February 2020 and since then it has been reduced to 97. With regard to Ireland and the ISIF, the amount is relatively small given the overall investment internationally by ISIF. I am aware it is independent, and I know there are experts and their role is to get value for money and invest, but is that done within a policy of human rights? What engagem…

I understand that. The Minister has taken the trouble to read the reports. I understand the difficulties. Suggestions have been made by the Department of Finance to establish our own database. What progress has been made on that? Let me come back to the decision, which I welcome. Obviously, those concerned are operating in a policy vacuum. It has come from Dáil questions and pressure. I would have believed there would have been a proactive approach to taking the responsibility seriously. This happened previously wi…

Please speak through the Chair.

The time is up.

I think you have gained considerable advantage from not having the clock.

We are way over time.
