That 0.3% of the total Irish fund assets of €3.8 trillion is evenly split between equities and bonds.

I will finish for completeness and transparency. The Irish collective asset management vehicle, ICAV, unit trusts, common contractual funds and investment limited partnerships are subject to beneficial ownership registration requirements to enhance transparency and help combat money laundering activities. I can give the Deputy further details on this.

We will do everything we can to ensure compliance with the sanctions. We have no interest - none, zero - in enabling any Russian oligarch or to be more specific anyone who is part the sanctions' list, either to evade or avoid being fully accountable to that sanctions regime. We have no interest as a country in protecting anybody in that regard. I have to be crystal clear about that. We will do and are doing whatever it takes, with the Central Bank, to facilitate full compliance with sanctions. As I said, it is a cr…

I thank the Deputy for raising the issue. I pay tribute to two workers concerned. To go to an unfair dismissal tribunal is not an easy journey. It can be a very challenging one for young workers. I pay tribute to them for seeing that through. On the specifics of the case, the Deputy is saying that the tips were essentially being retained or kept or were being used as part of wages, which is an absolutely unacceptable practice. There is separate work being done by the Government in relation to that. In my view, that…

I am minded to be disposed to the abolition of service charges. In any event, there should be full and absolute transparency governing them. Many people are under the impression that when they pay a service charge, it goes to workers and that is not the case in many instances. We need absolute transparency. Ideally, the consumer should hand tips directly to the employee, or to a group of employees, however those mechanisms can be facilitated, as an additional contribution if he or she is so minded. That needs to be…

I thank the Deputy for raising the issue. The issues concerning housing in Tipperary are ones that are reflected across the entire country. The only response to it is a sustainable comprehensive one, which is what the Government has provided in the form of Housing for All. Housing for All provides a comprehensive set of measures and targets with financial backing to increase housing supply. That is the most fundamental thing we can do in relation to the housing situation, which is difficult and challenging for many…

Mar a dúirt an file, "Cad a dhéanfaimid feasta gan adhmad? Tá deireadh na gcoillte ar lár".

Caithfidh mise a rá anois, níl deireadh na gcoillte ar lár.

Is é atá i gceist againne ná iad a chur ar ais, lá i ndiaidh lae, seachtain i ndiaidh seachtaine, agus bliain i ndiaidh bliana. Is é an rud is tábhachtaí is féidir linn a dhéanamh ná na coillte a thabhairt ar ais agus iad a leathnú ar fud na tíre. Is é sin atá faoi chaibidil againn ag obair leis an gComhaontas Glas, working with our Green colleagues in government, whom I know the Deputy has great admiration for-----

We are doing everything we possibly can to bring the trees back, to bring our forests back and to grow them in abundance. Deputy Mattie McGrath is correct in one thing; I appeal that there would be no objections to afforestation licences.

We should get on with it, in particular the planting of native trees. We should grow them. The new riparian scheme that has been introduced by the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine, Deputy McConalogue, and the Minister of State, Senator Hackett, will facilitate small plantings on farms with income streams for farmers, which will enable us to clean the waterways. It is a very innovative approach to tree planting.

We will work with the local authorities in respect of growing trees and also building houses as well, which is critical.

Caithfidh muid tithe a thógáil. The most important thing we can do for the housing supply is to build more houses, get the schemes approved and remove the logjams in terms of obstacles and objections.

We must just get on with it.

I thank the Deputies for raising the issues. First, there was a genuine need and concern that we would extend the time for the debate on the shocking crisis in Ukraine and the shocking attack by Russia on the Ukrainian people. I was here last week and people were saying that NATO and the European countries were the warmongers, and the United States. They certainly were not, Deputy Boyd Barrett, and I think those who made those statements-----

Those who made those statements in the House last week should withdraw them.

There is 210 minutes for tonight's debate. Then, tomorrow evening, provision has been made for 110 minutes for a debate on the Amnesty report in respect of Israel and Palestine - 110 minutes has been allocated for that.

I heard the Deputy. I just want to make the point that we are also a legislative assembly. It seems we have about two and a half days this week, maybe a bit longer. We need to have some time for Government legislation to get things done.

We are a legislative assembly as well as a debating chamber and we have a fundamental obligation to pass legislation. I do not mind surrendering some time from Taoiseach's questions later on, if that is what the Deputies want to do, but we do not have a whole lot of time.

If people go through the schedule for tomorrow, they will see that there are two sets of oral parliamentary questions, Leaders' Questions, Questions on Promised Legislation, the Institutional Burials Bill 2022, statements on the Final Report of the Joint Committee on Key Issues affecting the Traveller Community and the Topical Issue debate. Private Members' time, which incorporates time for the Opposition - that is fair enough - is much lengthier than in previous Dáileanna.
