I want to ask the Tánaiste about the atypical working scheme. It is an issue I raised before, I wrote to the Minister for Justice last week about it and I got a letter back yesterday saying that there were 350 people waiting to get their applications processed for this scheme. These are medical people on the front line who have jobs waiting for them in Ireland and who cannot get in because of bureaucracy. It is a terrible situation we are in. We have huge pressure in our health services and we have nurses and front-line workers needing to get into these hospitals and yet they wait abroad and cannot come because of this huge delay. Bureaucracy should not be blocking progress on this. Will the Tánaiste intervene in this situation and ensure that these people get into the country and get into our health system as quickly as possible? They are not coming under some pretence. They are coming here because they have jobs waiting for them and we need them in our health services now.

On a point of order, the Ceann Comhairle called on Deputy Michael Collins earlier. He was on the list yesterday and the Ceann Comhairle called on him again today. I had put my name down behind Deputy Michael Collins and yet six Sinn Féin speakers spoke without the Ceann Comhairle ever calling my name. They did not walk up to the stage and singly put down their names while I was sitting in the Chamber. Is there somebody putting down block lists, therefore, to get their names down or are they going up singly to put down their names, as I did this morning after Deputy Michael Collins? I was not allowed to speak.

I offer my apologies to the Deputy.

I am not sure what happened with Deputy O'Donoghue but I come in and put my name down every day and I come in early to do it. Maybe there was a mix-up today but we do not put our names down in blocks. We come in early because we want to speak.

My apologies to Deputy O'Donoghue. The lists were here before me when I came in so I apologise for that. Can we deal with Deputy Martin Kenny's question?

This was raised in the Dáil last week and I undertook to look into it. I have a report from the Department of Justice which I will send on to the Deputy. It is being worked on and the delays might not be as severe as people may think.
