I hope I will have the opportunity to come in again to expand on some of those issues. I know communities in parts of the country have been promised additional resources, including teachers and GPs, and none of it has materialised. I would like the chance to question some of that in a little more detail.

I know that talks have taken place between the Port of Cork authority and international protection accommodation services, IPAS, in respect of the potential use of ships for the purpose of accommodation. I want to know where that is at and if it is still under active consideration.
