We are over time now and there are four speakers left, so I will allow each 30 seconds. I ask Members to comply with the rules.

I ask the Taoiseach to replicate the special emergency humanitarian support scheme the Tánaiste recently announced for the people in New Ross and Tullow after flooding in the towns. I am asking for the same support for the two small communities of Clongeen and Foulkesmill, in south Wexford. They are left with a trail of devastation following a mini tornado that struck those areas last week. One man had almost completed the building of his new home only to find it flattened, with no possibility of a claim, but thank God there was no injury or loss of life. Another woman lost the roof of her house. I ask the Taoiseach for some flexibility and to provide emergency humanitarian support for these two rural communities, which have suffered from this freak act of nature, as existing schemes mostly only cover flood damage.

This question is for the Taoiseach. As part of the nation's welcome efforts to accommodate Ukrainian refugees running for their lives, in an unprecedented development, on Sligo County Council-owned lands, the OPW and the Department of Children, Equality, Disability, Integration and Youth have invoked emergency planning regulations to erect 24 very fine modular homes exclusively for Ukrainian refugees. Some of the over 1,500 families on the Sligo housing list, 2,400 on the Donegal housing list and 700 on the Leitrim housing list, all within my constituency, none of whom have a home, have told me they are beginning to wonder where they come in the pecking order as Irish citizens when it comes to Government action. They have asked me to ask the Taoiseach why emergency planning has not been invoked to provide them with modular homes. Many of them have been on the housing list for over a decade.

Tá mé ag bogadh ar aghaidh. Deputy, we are way over time.

What would the Taoiseach like to say to these families?

From the outset the Taoiseach has stated that the environment is very important to his premiership, and the influence of the Green Party in government is well known, but one area that has not permeated down to is the new agri-environment scheme. The Taoiseach will be aware of the BurrenLife programme. If he has not been photographed there, he is unusual as a Cabinet Minister. Certainly, the Minister of State, Senator Hackett, and the Minister, Deputy Eamon Ryan, have been there. It is not within their area of responsibility, but there is collective Cabinet responsibility. The new agri-climate rural environment scheme, ACRES, will disadvantage the farmers in that scheme, as it will the farmers in the Sleeve Aughty area who are in the hen harrier area. The standard they have to reach is lower but they will get less money. Will that be reviewed and will the disincentive in common-----

Go raibh maith agat, a Theachta.

I get the point.

On page 92 of the programme for Government there is a commitment to ensure that Men's Sheds and Women's Sheds are properly resourced and that the network of teen sheds is established. Last week we saw an allocation of money to Men's Sheds which was vastly disproportionate to that given to Women's Sheds. While I understand there are more Men's Sheds, we need to invest more in the establishment of new Women's Sheds. What is the Government doing to encourage more Women's Sheds? Also, what progress is being made on teen sheds, which seem to be getting very little attention?

On the issue Deputy Mythen raised, we should be in a position to apply the flood scheme, the humanitarian assistance scheme. I will talk to the Tánaiste's office and see if we can follow up on that, if that has not happened already, because there is no issue with that where storms happen and damage is done.

In response to Deputy MacSharry, that was a pilot scheme in respect of Ukrainians. We have now, with the Minister for Housing, Local Government and Heritage, also said that we want to build rapid-build housing for the social housing list. I believe we have to build more social housing and generally within the housing we are building through our conventional model-----
