It sounds like a wonderful facility. I ask the Taoiseach, on behalf of Opposition parties, to circulate a list of the names of those in the unit, their titles, their phone numbers and e-mail addresses. We can all think of occasions when we could use the kind of services that have been described. I presume those in the unit have names, offices, e-mail addresses and contact details. Very few Deputies have such facilities available to them, from what I know. Would the Taoiseach give an undertaking to publish the names and contact details of those in the unit so that if the services are available Deputies can avail of them?

It would be terrible to think that people in the Department of the Taoiseach are sitting on their hands with nothing to do other than have a odd chat with an adviser. That is hardly the efficient and productive work of the kind we know Taoiseach is dedicated to.
