I propose to take Questions Nos. 218 and 224 together.

I refer the Deputy to my answer to Parliamentary Question No. 65 of today. I regret that it has not been possible in the time available to obtain the other information requested by the Deputy. I will be in contact with the Deputy in relation to this matter when it becomes available.
