Deputy Carroll MacNeill is not on my list; Deputy Dillon is.

The Deputy's time is up.

I thank the Deputy.

I thank the Deputy for her contribution. I am sure she does not intend to cast any aspersions on the vice chairman of the hospital board.

The Deputy is quite entitled to do that but we are not casting any aspersions on the individual.

I do not know him either. I thank the Deputy very much for that. That concludes our statements on the National Maternity Hospital.

Deputy Martin Kenny is next on the list, but as he is not here I call Deputy Cairns.

Deputy Leddin is sharing time with Deputy Ó Cathasaigh.

I thank the Minister and his team.

I wish to advise the House of the following matters in respect of which notice has been given under Standing Order 37A and the name of the Member in each case: (1) Deputy Chris Andrews - to discuss the cancellation of training for the Garda Síochána armed support unit for the Dublin region; (2) Deputy Joe Flaherty - to discuss policing in Longford town; (3) Deputy Dessie Ellis - to discuss the delay in funding for works to be carried out at Gaelscoil Uí Earcáin, Finglas East, Dublin 11; (4) Deputy Patrick Costello …

I thank the Minister of State and the Deputy for dealing with that particularly important matter. We now move from policing to issues with disability services. The next item is in the name of Deputy Verona Murphy, who wishes to discuss the lack of core services from child disability network teams across the country.

I do not think anyone could question the commitment of the Ministers of State, Deputy Feighan and Deputy Rabbitte.

I know the Deputy is not doing that. What the Deputy said is heart-rending. The Deputy should engage with the two Ministers of State. I invite her to table this issue for consideration in the next few weeks so we can see what advance has been achieved.

If we have any humanity at all - and we all have - we appreciate the significance of this. Bring it back to us if the HSE, which is the service provider, does not address this.

Deputies Ó Murchú and O'Rourke are sharing time. I call Deputy Ó Murchú.

I thank the Members for raising those important matters of topical interest.

We will now proceed to the Wildlife (Amendment) Bill 2021. The Minister of State at the Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage, Deputy Peter Burke, is here to deal with this. You are our expert on wildlife.

We all wish to be associated with that message of sympathy to Deputy Whitmore. It is a very difficult time for her. There is unfortunately nobody else listed to speak on this matter. Deputy Gannon as the proposer may respond to the Minister of State's comments. The Minister of State then may give a further response, if he wishes to do so.

Deputy Howlin makes a very valid point. I am conscious these motions were not referred to the relevant committees where they might have been. Perhaps there is time pressure on us and that we could not do so.

I appreciate that, but nonetheless the point Deputy Howlin makes is relevant. There is not exactly a host of people around the Chamber champing at the bit to participate, which is also regrettable.
