I want to acknowledge A Better World and the extent of the work that went into producing it. The very positive response it received from everybody who attended the launch in UCD, including NGOs, civil society and so on was obvious. That was a positive start.

All increases are welcome. I notice that in almost every category administration pay and non-pay are the allocations that have increased.

The figure of 860,000 new passports is mind-boggling. Where are all those applications coming from? I presume Brexit accounts for a large number of them.
