Mr. Mickey Brady:

I thank the Taoiseach for the presentation. One of my questions is on a very practical issue that we come across daily, which is the provision of passports. Some people are coming into the office who have been waiting six months, which is simply not acceptable. This is a considerable issue. It may need a separate meeting with the Passport Office or the Department of Foreign Affairs.

Part of the all-island initiative relates to greenways. We have had one from Newry to Carlingford and I ask for that to be enhanced. The Taoiseach also mentioned cross-Border health.

There is the opportunity for Daisy Hill Hospital to be expanded and become the only acute hospital on the east coast between Dublin and Belfast.
