Today, 35 female Members of the Oireachtas are signing a letter to Paul Reid and the Minister for Health, Deputy Donnelly, in respect of restoring the access to all maternity units and maternity services that existed pre pandemic. We will keep the Tánaiste up to date on progress because it is something he has supported. Linked to that are the recommendations of the Citizens' Assembly on gender equality, which were agreed, after a year's work, on 24 April. I am very pleased that the Ceann Comhairle and the Business Committee supported a proposal by me to establish a special, dedicated and fully resourced committee to advance those recommendations. Will the Tánaiste please outline what are the Government's plans are to support and advanced that, particularly given that the work is still very pressing?

When we have used citizens' assemblies to their best effect, we have done exactly what the Deputy proposes, which is to take the report, ask a time-limited special committee to examine it, refine it and then put proposals to the Government to which it can respond. That is how we intend to approach the report of this Citizen's Assembly. I have spoken about it with some of my people today and we will be working with a view to establishing that special committee in the next couple of weeks. There are some logistical issues about how many special committees there are and about staffing, members and so on. I do not believe it is beyond the wit of man or woman to have this committee up and running well before the end of this session, but certainly during this session.
