I thank the Deputy. Her time is up.

I thank the Minister. We are out of time.

We are out of time, but we are going to take three 30-second questions.

Seanad Éireann has passed the Health (Amendment) Bill 2023, without amendment.

I thank Deputy Ó Murchú. He had better get on his bike now because he is out of time.

That is a separate issue. I thank Deputy Ó Murchú very much for those words of wisdom.

Indeed.

We move now to the Rural Independent Group. Deputy Mattie McGrath is sharing time with Deputies Michael Collins and Nolan.

We now move to the Independent Group and Deputy Connolly.

Before calling the Tánaiste, could I say that, on a couple of occasions today, the current and previous Chiefs of Staff have been referred to very specifically. I fully accept the report produced presents very real challenges to the current and former Chiefs of Staff. That said, it does not confer on any of us the right to question, without evidence, the integrity or veracity of any statements made by the aforementioned. I would caution against any further comments to that effect.

I do not want to take issue with Deputy Connolly but I am just conscious of natural justice. We are dealing here with a report that in so many respects is utterly damning, but to identify particular individuals and to visit questions as to the credibility of those individuals is probably not fair or in accordance with natural justice.

Remarks should be made through the Chair.

If we could have the remarks through the Chair, then we would not get involved in a one-to-one debate.

I wish to advise the House of the following matters in respect of which notice has been given under Standing Order 37 and the name of the Member in each case: Deputy Gary Gannon - To discuss the construction of a new school building for Gaelscoil Choláiste Mhuire, Parnell Square, Dublin 1. Deputy Jennifer Whitmore - To ask for an update on the HSE review of access to medication for sufferers of hyperemesis. Deputy Colm Burke - To discuss the provision of funding to employ a full-time physiotherapist in each of the …

The first matter is in the name of Deputy Durkan. He wants to discuss something to which he is deeply committed, namely, the extent to which children's welfare and well-being is protected by Tusla in all situations in family law. The Minister of State, Deputy Peter Burke, will be dealing with this matter.

I suspect Deputy Durkan is not going away as far as this matter is concerned.

The Minister of State, without interruption.

This debate has been a disgrace, with constant heckling and interruption. The strength of Members' arguments is what convinces people, not interruptions-----

------from both sides and not heckling. Please respect the people who sent us here and who watched this debate and saw the poor manner in which was conducted.

I thank the Deputy. We are over time.
