We will examine all of that. I want to see the material. I cannot comment until I see it.

In response to Deputy Murphy, there were 46 items on the Cabinet agenda today. The Minister has made it clear that he wants to publish his proposals in advance of Christmas. There is a session of Dáil Éireann in January and February. There will be ample time for Deputies to discuss this issue with those most involved, namely, apartment owners and residents, in respect of redress for apartments and defects. The Minister has been very clear on this and has committed to it. He undertook a review and so forth and he will publish the details of the redress scheme very quickly. It is to be hoped he will be in a position to bring it to Cabinet next week.

Deputy Smith joined with Deputy Cahill in respect of our food production system and broader system and the need to grow the industry sustainably.

Around the Border area in Cavan-Monaghan there are some very innovative entrepreneurs involved in food production, in particular poultry. I discovered that Silver Hill Duck is the dish of choice in Singapore.
