I preface my question by saying I do not want the question to be interpreted as being anti-asylum seeker or anti-refugee. The 2016 annual report of the Reception and Integration Agency shows that €64.3 million was spent on running centres for refugees and asylum seekers. The figure represented a rise of 11% on the figure for 2015. A total of €51.7 million was paid to firms to fund the operation of 28 commercially-owned centres. A sum of €7 million was paid to seven centres that were State-owned facilities. As the Taoiseach will appreciate, there is a major difference in the figures. I do not expect him to give me a full answer. However, will the Minister come to the Dáil to inform Members of the breakdown of expenditure? If the Taoiseach can give me a positive answer, it will be acceptable.

I will be happy if the Deputy addresses the question on the issue to me next week. He raises some important issues. Obviously, there are issues of commercial sensitivity, of which he will be fully aware, but I will be happy to deal with the matter within the rules of the House at Question Time.

I compliment Members. There has been an improvement in the appropriateness of questions. I hope, as we progress, that they will be more appropriate.
