Pat Rabbitte (Dublin South West, Labour)

It appears that Operation Freeflow is working well without a Minister of State. Perhaps this is a precedent that we could look at in the new year in other areas.

As the closing date is tonight for survivors of abuse in residential institutions to register claims, I ask the Tánaiste whether she intends any action to be taken in the case of Marie Therese O'Loughlin, who is currently outside the gate of Leinster House. She has been there for some weeks now.
