I thank the Minister for the reply. Are there plans to expand it so that other queries can be taken by Oireachtas Members? I noticed that some replies received from the system suggested that no representations would be considered were being sent to some TDs. Are there plans to expand this? For example, 100,000 migrant visas were issued in 2022. A large number are going through the system. It is often a cause of delay and anxiety for people when progress does not seem to have been made after questions have been asked and replied to. We need a fair and efficient system. Sometimes the system seems to be rather opaque, or there does not seem to be a system according to some of the people who have come into my office. The delays and the lack of enforcement have been exploited by some people with a different agenda. It is being used to exploit the frustration that people in communities feel with regard to GPs and housing
