Mary Butler: I thank the Deputy very much for his question. This year, the HSE will hire 2,268 whole-time equivalents, WTEs, where there is no embargo in place. Some 68 of those will be across the child and adolescent mental health services, CAMHS. The Deputy is seeking a disregard for specific staff. I ask him to forward the details to me. Disregards have been given for various whole-time...

Richard Boyd Barrett: Cherrywood is the biggest residential the biggest residential development in the country. It is a new town with more than 8,000 apartments and houses. There are probably between 25,000 and 30,000 people living there.

Éamon Ó Cuív: As the Taoiseach knows, housing is the big issue. While I welcome all the steps taken in relation to An Bord Pleanála, I note that only 11% of appeals were decided within the 18-week statutory objective. Is there anything further we can do collectively, that the Government can do or that anybody can do, to hurry up the board? It is holding up projects around the country for years.

Michael McNamara: I listened carefully to what the Taoiseach said earlier. He told Deputy McDonald about the importance of this State being able to frame its own migration policy. He told Deputy Bacik about how important the open border with Northern Ireland remains. That is exactly what the Irish people voted for in the Lisbon treaty when we had an opt-out on the asylum area. Some aspects of the migration...

Simon Harris: The committee has yet to discuss that. As Deputy McNamara knows from his participation in the justice committee, it is currently giving consideration to the Pact. I believe the committee asked for more time. It is sensible that such time is provided and then the Government will consider matters if they come back to the Dáil. In addition to the vote on the Pact, obviously any...

I see the benefit of it across the country and I will certainly take an interest in the issue he highlights in the service in Cavan town. I welcome the fact that the Minister of State, Deputy Rabbitte, is working very hard on this matter. I will talk to the Minister...
