Darren O'Rourke: We have had the wettest March on record with a huge amount of rain, but in Ratoath and Ashbourne we have consistent problems with water outages, shortages and restrictions.

Micheál Martin: I will raise the issues raised by the Deputy with the Minister, Deputy Darragh O'Brien. There should be engagement with communities. There has to be. I will pursue that. On the earlier point, given the rain that is falling we should not be short of water. I put that question to Uisce Éireann when I was Taoiseach a number of years ago. All of us, collectively as a society, should...

The Executive has now been formed. I am sure the justice minister in the...

Another mother has been told that the only school she...

Matt Shanahan: The Central Bank has just produced the latest liability data up to 21 December 2022. It has taken 15 months to publish that. Will Government give a commitment to publish the 2023 data before the summer recess to see what is happening in the insurance market? The headline takeaways in terms of the report that was just published are that insurance profit margins have risen 55% in the...
