In Kerry, we are waiting for the upgrade of several treatment plants and towns and villages are waiting for new treatment plants. We cannot build houses. The building of houses is stymied. The Government needs to talk to and work together with Irish Water to ensure the treatment plants are brought up to standard so that we can build houses.

I must raise the issue of what is happening in our accident and emergency department in University Hospital Kerry. It has been under massive, sustained pressure in recent weeks. The Minister for Health visited the hospital recently and I appreciate and recognise that fact, but we need help in University Hospital Kerry. Staff are under savage pressure and are doing their best. I want to highlight that on the floor of the Dáil.

In response to both Deputies, I had a successful trip to Kerry recently and the announcement of 300 jobs in Tralee was well received. By the way, the work done by Kerry County Council on the pavements in Tralee is fantastic, including the pedestrianisation. The money allocated through the urban regeneration and development fund has been well spent by the council. I then went to Killarney where there are also big plans to enhance Killarney even further, if that is possible.

You did not go to Kilgarvan, a Thaoisigh, did you?

I did not make it to Kilgarvan, a Cheann Comhairle. I will talk to the Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform and the Minister for Housing, Local Government and Heritage about Irish Water. I hope to meet Irish Water myself at some stage to discuss the water treatment plants.

I acknowledge the pressure on University Hospital Kerry, as on all hospitals. The impact of Covid-19 is very serious still and is causing significant disruption. We have not really got over the full impacts of Covid.

That concludes questions on policy and legislation - and lots of other things.
