Gabhaim buíochas leis an Aire as ucht a fhreagra. Will you give us some idea of what the process will then be? Will the research be done, and, if potential good resolutions are identified in that, will there be invitations to companies that might fit the bill for those resolutions?
I concur with the Minister's congratulations to the new Chief Veterinary Officer, Brian Dooher. I have met him on a number of occasions, and I am sure that he will prove to be a capable and effective public servant. We are talking about compensation. Can you tell us what advice you have taken on addressing the spread…
Gabhaim buíochas leis an Aire. In regard to the recent use or, I should say, abuse of public interest immunity (PII) certificates to frustrate the inquest process, particularly the inquest into the murder of Sean Brown, will the Minister endorse the comments by Mr Justice Kinney on the establishment of a public…

Inevitably, that will be an increased role and function…
To ask the Minister of Justice, following the judgement in the case on the death of Sean Brown, for her assessment of the coroner's call for a public inquiry.
As we know, during the worst excesses of COVID, our health service workers were at the coalface, helping to save people's lives. Does the Member agree that many of those people are emotionally and mentally fatigued as a result of that, and that they deserve much more than claps?
I listened to the Minister as he committed to working on NICE guidelines, options appraisal and commissioning various arrangements. Is the Minister developing a strategy for diabetes? If so, when will that strategy be available, and what level of commitment will be made to that financially and resource-wise?
Gabhaim buíochas leis an Aire as na freagraí go nuige seo. I just noticed that the Bank of Ireland profits this year are up by 92%. That is absolutely incredible.

I thank all Members who have contributed well to the debate and, indeed, for their support for the motion and the amendment.
