David Cullinane: If Ms Phillips does not disagree then it is a matter that can be addressed because it is not in the service level agreement. Second, at the time of the local election I posted correspondence addressed to each individual resident, all of which was binned. That was confirmed to me. Perhaps Mr. Dowling can answer how someone can post something to someone who lives in one of these reception...

David Cullinane: I want to make one last point. Deputy Jonathan O'Brien said that we have more refugees coming into the system because thankfully we are taking in some of the Syrian refugees.

Is it the case that that is increasing the cost for direct provision and that if we put more resources into fast-tracking the applications, that would reduce the cost? If we are...

David Cullinane: I commend Teachta O'Reilly on tabling this motion, which deals with the retention and recruitment of nurses specifically but it could apply to many healthcare professionals working in our acute health services. The Minister of State knows that, along with the housing crisis, the issue of the retention and recruitment of nurses has been with us for a very long time. When the Minister of...
