It costs €4,000 to rent on Carnlough Road in Cabra. The Taoiseach needs to come off it. He needs to get a grip.

It is not agreed. I ask for an adjournment of the patient safety Bill to next week. We all know this is important legislation that we need to get right. On 7 December and following the death of campaigner Vicky Phelan, there was cross-party determination to get this legislation right. I assume we all still share that ambition. We are nearly there but we are not quite there yet. We need an amendment to the legislation to provide for a legal obligation on screening service providers to inform patients at the point of…

Can we ask for some clarity-----

-----from the Taoiseach as to what is meant by the commitment he made? Does he mean the amendment, as described by me and Deputy Kelly, will be accepted and brought into the legislation? We need clarity on that.

If those efforts fail, the Minister will adjourn the matter.

A report published in the Irish Independent presents in very stark terms the recruitment and retention crisis in An Garda Síochána. One in four Garda stations has seen a drop in staff, and 42 stations have no gardaí permanently assigned to them. In my constituency of Dublin Central we have lost 30 gardaí in the past year.

Israel does not uphold the rights of the Palestinians.

What about the breaches of international law that are legendary at this stage?

What about the Control of Economic Activity (Occupied Territories) 2018 Bill?

What about the occupied territories Bill?

What about the occupied territories Bill?

I have raised the need to review this initiative with the Taoiseach's predecessor, the Tánaiste, Deputy Micheál Martin, and I raise it again with the Taoiseach at this juncture. We need to assess in real terms what progress has been made. The review needs to also include the need to expand the boundaries of this initiative because only one section of the north inner city is actually covered. Other areas which have been just as affected by poverty, drugs and the whole gangland phenomenon have been left outside of it…

I raised this with the Taoiseach and put the question. I want to make the point on behalf of the community I serve.

If you let me finish my sentence-----

The north inner city has no drugs-----

No, you have-----

The north inner city-----

-----has no drugs and alcohol task force.
