That is clearly a matter for the local authority which should deal with it in a sympathetic, human way. In situations like that in other local authorities, people are rehoused in a different location, particularly if the house is boarded up. We cannot intervene in every individual housing allocation. I do not know the full background, but I think the council should act appropriately in this regard and the family should be rehoused.

In the first instance, I think the RSA is doing a very good job, overall.

No, but I just want to make the point. We are not a PR agency for it or anything like that. This House legislated for and created that body on a statutory footing to reduce deaths and accidents on our roads and that has been a spectacular success, if one looks at what has happened.

I know. I have answered the question. I will make a further point. I will communicate to the RSA what Deputies Moynihan and MacSharry have said. I do not have the reply here with me but my recollection is clearly that it has moved to an appointments-based system. It is saying to the public that it will be doing this work by appointment rather than everyone having to queue up. It is saying that it has approximately 70,000 appointments scheduled and some 40,000 have been taken up. About 30,000 appointments could, the…

I do not disagree. It has always been the bane of politicians' lives that they could not get a pitch or access to a hall, particularly in State-owned schools such as the ETB schools, formerly vocational education committee schools. I was struck by the number of school and club partnerships in the recent sport applications for funding that got funding from the Department of Tourism, Culture, Arts, Gaeltacht, Sport and Media. That is the way to go. Rather than having two separate sports halls, pitches or whatever, ad…

Yes.

I propose to take Questions Nos. 1 to 4, inclusive, and 55 together. A Policing Service for our Future is the Government's plan to implement the report of the Commission on the Future of Policing in Ireland. As recommended in the commission's report, implementation of the plan is being overseen by a dedicated programme office in the Department of the Taoiseach. The policing reform implementation programme office monitors progress on A Policing Service for our Future and supports the work of the implementation group…

I thank the Deputies for raising the issues they have raised. With regard to the Stardust inquest, I met relatives at a recent event. The Irish Nurses and Midwives Organisation commissioned a memorial for all those who lost their lives in the Stardust inferno and tragedy. We had a meeting afterwards. The Government has provided resources and amended the free legal aid framework to facilitate the inquiry. The issue on the empanelling of jurors is that existing legislation, including the Coroners Act, does not facili…

And they said it was inadvertent. It is a matter then for GSOC if it wishes to take it up, or if people wish to refer it to GSOC. That is why GSOC is there. Where we have agencies such as GSOC and others they should be used to pursue issues of this kind to get them dealt with and to get early closure in respect of such issues. We have put a great deal of resources behind enforcement agencies and agencies responsible for standards. They need to do their work and complete their job. Deputy Boyd Barrett also raised th…

I propose to take Questions Nos. 5 to 15, inclusive, together. The Cabinet committee on Europe oversees implementation of programme for Government commitments on the European Union and related issues. It generally meets in advance of a meeting of the European Council. The Cabinet committee discusses the agenda for European Council meetings, as well as other programme for Government priorities in respect of the European Union. It last met ahead of the October European Council and is scheduled to meet next on 7 March…

It was not scripted.

It was verbal. A number of people told me that yesterday.

Deputy McDonald's spoke about the trade with the illegal settlements, and she also raised the Ukraine issue. Ukraine will be the dominant feature here. With regard to the illegal settlements and the Control of Economic Activity (Occupied Territories) Bill, legal advice has been issued around the competency of the European Union to govern trade policy of the EU and third countries. That is the big problem with the legal validity of the Bill, whether it passes the legal test or the legal threshold, which is the bigge…

Deputy Murphy said it should pull back troops and deployment in eastern Europe. I refer the Deputy to an article written in the Financial Times by the Prime Minister of Estonia. If the Deputy reads that article he will understand why if he lived in Estonia, Poland, Latvia or Lithuania he would never want to be alone again. That is the phrase the Prime Minister used. Her grandparents were deported to Siberia. First they had the Nazis and then they had the Russians. When the Russians came in after the Second World Wa…

The security issues can be resolved and people want to resolve them. The European Union wants to resolve the security concerns that Russia may have. They can easily be resolved and we discussed that yesterday with the Chancellor. If those issues can be dealt with, there is no need for this incredible militarisation that NATO has had no hand, act, or part in.

I will follow that up with the Minister. I do not accept the analysis of Deputy Conway-Walsh. We may come back to that another time.

I have to have due respect for the Ceann Comhairle.

Exactly.

I propose to take Question Nos. 16 to 24 together. Through the Government's shared island initiative, we are working to engage with all communities and traditions to build consensus around a shared future and to take up the full potential of the Good Friday Agreement to enhance co-operation on the island. Our objective is to work across the whole-of-government in all-island partnerships with the Executive, the United Kingdom Government and local authorities and civil society across the island. The Government wants …

I join with Deputies in expressing my deepest sympathies to the wife and family of Christopher Stalford who passed away at the weekend. On the Government's behalf, I conveyed our sympathies personally to Jeffrey Donaldson and the wish that they be conveyed to his family. All of us in public life know that politicians experience enormous pressures. Words will not console his family on this occasion, but our thoughts and prayers are with them. Regarding the third strategy on domestic violence, there has already been …
