I hope I will be corrected if I am wrong but it is my understanding that the word "lie" was used by Deputy Doherty. In the time I have been in this House, every time a Member has used the word "lie" he or she has been asked to withdraw it.

I will first make a point regarding the Order of Business. The Government wants to co-operate and engage with the House. I am very interested in seeing a balance that involves getting laws passed in the House rather than Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday being simply about general debates, general statements and Ministers coming before the House to discuss this, that and the other. We have Oireachtas committees. The Minister for Health has no problem coming before anybody to discuss long Covid. Our Order of Business …

-----but the Minister, Deputy Darragh O'Brien, has never had an issue coming before the House-----

-----and engaging in debate-----

-----on a range of issues so that people can air their disagreement and so on. Deputy Barry raised the issue of the Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement, CETA. He said that we must not allow it to be slipped in. CETA has been on the agenda for years. There is no danger of it being slipped through. It has been before an Oireachtas committee for the last year. When we were in opposition, we had a Private Members' debate on CETA. It has been in practical de facto operation for three or four years. It will not be…

We might have other issues then.

They have issued public statements. I have not met the individuals yet. The Deputy is incorrect in saying that Sláintecare has slipped back. The opposite is the case. Over €1.2 billion was allocated in the last budget.

In the public health area, consultants will be appointed for the first time ever. We committed to doubling the staff in public health and that is happening.

Out of 255 appointments, 151 have been made. In home care alone, 5 million hours have been provided.

Just listen. It went from 7,000 on the waiting list in March 2020 to 1,400 in 2021 and the statutory home care legislation is coming. In the community diagnostics programme, some 70,000 scans have been carried out. Some €25 million was allocated to the GP access to diagnostics initiative. That is very important. There are 6,000 more people working in the health service than there were last year.

Critical care beds have gone from 255 to 296 and will be at 321 by the end of the year. Bed capacity has gone up 800. For the proposals in relation to elective hospitals, the business cases have been made.

I do not know the circumstances and am always loath to comment on the comments of judges but the point the Deputy has raised is a serious one. It is not good enough that any person is in jail who should be in a secure mental health facility. That is not satisfactory. I will ask the Minister of State at the Department of Health, Deputy Butler, to examine that.

I would make one important point. We need to be careful. I can remember a previous era when the courts were ordaining institutionalisation for young offenders, for example, which was the wrong approach, yet it was raised periodically in the Dáil.

I know the Deputy is talking about something different but we just need to be careful of that.

I think that is the wrong perception. We have moved heaven and earth in trying to provide resources, last year for the return of schools and likewise this year. We need to be balanced and fair about this. In terms of the specific question, 25,000 CO2 monitors were ordered and will be provided to schools by the end of this week. This enables all schools to have some CO2 monitors, with the full allocation of monitors in 96% of primary schools and at least ten monitors being provided to the other 4% of medium to large…

I have mentioned the 4% already. At post-primary level-----

-----each of the schools will have received at least ten CO2 monitors.

First, as I said, the broader issue in terms of housing is that we need to build more houses and more apartments and units.

I know. I am saying to the Deputy that the most effective way to do it is to build more houses, apartments and units of different types across our cities and towns to deal with the housing crisis, which has many manifestations, not least in terms of student accommodation.

We will work with the student union bodies and the colleges to see what we can do to alleviate and ameliorate the situation.
