If Inis Cealtra was significant enough to be on the list previously, it still is. I look forward to an explanation.

I very much endorse what Deputy Fitzmaurice said. As he indicated, we will prepare a Bill if the Government falls short on this. It is generally accepted that we live in an information age. Information is everything. He who has information has power. All of the information and all of the power reside with the processors because all of the information available to the Minister of State, Deputy Heydon, and his Department is available to the processors. They know how many cattle are in this country at any given time a…

I will start by saying that I am sorry if I am interrupting the Minister's work. I watched him throughout the debate as I listened to Deputy Connolly. I do not always agree with Deputy Connolly but I always listen to her for a couple of reasons. One reason is because she usually has something interesting to say. The second is that, like everyone else here, she is elected to the House. I have to take issue with the fact that the Minister is going through his departmental files as the debate is going on.

I will give the Minister the floor.

Okay. If that is the case, I welcome that. I do not think that is entirely the case. I have watched the Minister very carefully.

I will return to this and will stick to these points. I will ask the Minister to address these, as he has agreed to take a note of them. We rolled over much legislation in October before the deadline of November. I implored the Minister of State, Deputy Butler, who sat approximately where the Minister is sitting now - the Minister was also present - to come back to us with a report on mental health tribunals. Can we see that report before we vote on giving powers to roll this over indefinitely? We are talking about…

Like previous speakers I commend the Minister of State for bringing this legislation before the House. Sometimes one marvels at how resistant the system is to change and how long it takes to achieve change. When someone does bring a measure before the Dáil that changes the system, albeit long argued for and long promised, they are to be commended. I commend the Minister of State, Deputy Butler, on that. As Deputy Cahill has pointed out, it removes a potential unfairness from the fair deal scheme. The scheme is exce…

I wish to speak to that amendment if possible, a Cheann Comhairle, in circumstances where-----

If I may just explain the circumstances, there will be time for that within 30 seconds. The Ceann Comhairle specifically stated that I was not here. I was in the convention centre. There was a Government slot ahead of mine. When the Government was supposed to take a slot, I was waiting to see a Government speaker, in which case I would have taken my turn. We are told not to be here unnecessarily. I was in the convention centre waiting to speak and a Government speaker did not show up. I am not complaining but merel…

The lack of security is undermining patient safety.

The lack of security is outrageous too.

It is.

You are taking your time about it.

Answer the question.

He does not want to answer the question. Bluffer.

When are we going to have a debate on what the State's aviation policy is? When can we even find out what it is? There are announcements from the Tánaiste every day that contradict each other. There are announcements from all the members of the Taoiseach's Cabinet that contradict each other constantly. We do not have an aviation policy or aviation recovery plan. We need one before it is too late. It is already too late for my constituency. The Taoiseach's is next. He might not care much about the rest of the countr…

He talks about Fianna Fáil. One thing Fianna Fáil built was Shannon Airport but the Taoiseach is going to take it down around him.

It is also about jobs and livelihoods.

I agree with the Taoiseach that the pandemic has placed unprecedented pressure on the aviation sector. That is why many other European Governments have taken an equity shareholding in airlines. The Government declined to do so. It is why many of them have introduced antigen testing. The Government has obtained a report on it but declined to do so. It is why no other country in Europe has introduced mandatory hotel quarantining for European citizens. The Government blamed the Labour Party for that but no----

You blamed Deputy Duncan Smith just a couple of minutes ago. Neither the Taoiseach nor any of the Government Deputies or Senators voted against it, although they are now busy in County Clare trying to tell people they were against it from the start. However, that is the past. What future does the Taoiseach offer the people of Clare in terms of connectivity with Aer Lingus and the workers of Aer Lingus today? What is he now going to do about aviation in this country?
