That is the final phase.

I will send on my response to you so you can have it as well.

There is no incentive there. Obviously, you do not-----

The Minister made a point about people who might not get the points and who might go through a different avenue. I dealt with a case this year of a girl who went through Coláiste Stiofáin Naofa and got the maximum results there. The problem was about getting into University College Cork, UCC, to become part of the physical education, PE, programme and become a PE teacher. The course was oversubscribed, there had to be a lottery and she did not make it. The problem for that young lady is that even if she applies thi…

The question referenced the expansion of apprenticeship places. I ask the Minister, and I have already asked for this, for a purpose-built apprentice centre in Cork under the heading of either Munster Technological University or the ETB. The northside would be the ideal location for that. We need multiple campuses. I once again ask the Minister to look at that. It is an area that requires additional spaces. We have the capacity on the northside to deliver it.

These are the facts.

The Government has not built houses.

We will build houses.

In Australia.

Just before Christmas, I had a meeting with Bus Éireann in Cork to discuss major problems there with the bus service. People have been contacting me about buses being late, delayed or not turning up, and there are major problems with the app not being accurate and people waiting at bus stops. I have been contacted by a bus driver who has given us proof that last week, 14 bus services in Cork were short of drivers. We have people who have been delayed going to school, to work or to college or who cannot make appoint…

How can we get them out of their cars if they cannot get a bus? The last point I will make is to ask whether the Minister will provide funding to Bus Éireann in Cork to take on additional drivers, because otherwise this service will be a laughing stock.

No doubt the Minister of State, Deputy Richmond, will list off all that the Government thinks it has done since it came to office and say how great it is and how we are turning the corner. My God, it must be the biggest corner of all time. We see, in Belcamp Manor, 46 homes, or 85% of the homes there, bought by a vulture fund. Why are people surprised by this? It is a Fine Gael policy. Fine Gael brought this in. The mystery here is how Fianna Fáil and the Green Party have let Fine Gael get away with vulture funds r…

For more than a year I have been receiving complaints about dirty, discoloured water. Before Christmas I put out a call asking people to contact me or my office if they have issues with discoloured and dirty water. Hundreds of people in Cork contacted me to say that they have had discoloured and dirty water for months, on and off. Before Christmas I met with Uisce Éireann. I was disappointed that no Government Deputy was at the meeting to hear what was going on, because I told them the reality that my constituents …

The Minister of State named out areas and I will give a few more. Ballyvolane and Gurranabraher have had a problem for more than a year - 15 months. People in Ballyvolane have sent me photographs of filthy water. You would want to see what is coming out of people's taps. The Minister of State mentioned a couple of areas such as Dublin Hill. I was contacted by a resident in Dublin Hill today or yesterday and I was also contacted by someone in Blarney Street earlier on today because I told people I was raising the is…

This is a very serious issue and I have no faith that Uisce Éireann is dealing with it.

Not down in Cork.

We need a date. I do not think it is unreasonable to look for a date for when we will have clean drinking water in Cork.

He is the Minister. If the Minister cannot tell us when we will have clean water-----

No, but it is important that the job is done properly.

He should show the speaker a little bit of respect.
