Will the new queueing arrangements include the queue outside on the street as well as those inside the building? The concern last year was the large queue visible outside on the street. Is the Minister assuring us that if staff are needed, even on a temporary basis, they will be provided and that these queues will not be repeated this year?

More space is being provided internally for people waiting for the receipt of documentation. That is the way we are approaching it. I hope there will be a reduction in the number of people who will have to wait out on the pavement. They will be accommodated in enhanced areas within and under shelter.

The time has now come to deal with the questions nominated for priority. Question No. 44 in the name of Deputy Michael Higgins has been disposed of.

Deputy Barry complained about this before but they have changed the rules.

I have suffered a loss myself on Question No. 17.

My loss is mitigated by the Minister's commitment.

Thank you very much indeed. The Deputy and I appreciate commitments.

We can have a full bash-up on Question No. 47 as we have a full quarter of an hour.
