Three weeks ago, a number of Deputies and I pointed to the need for statements on the situation at University Hospital Limerick, UHL, and the significant overcrowding that happens there on a daily basis. The Taoiseach mentioned at the time that he was going to raise the matter with the Business Committee. I am not represented at the Business Committee, but so far I have not noticed any statements being made on the situation at the hospital. Two weeks ago, I referred to the recruitment embargo and the fact that it is impacting the radiography department in nuclear medicine, ultrasound and so on. Students are due to graduate, but they need to get the job offers now because the HR process in UHL takes about two months. These students are researching job offers in other countries. This matter has reached a tipping point. Statements are necessary.

I will begin with Deputy Wynne's question. We are very happy and eager to have statements in this House in respect of UHL.

When I last responded on this issue, I suggested the opportune time may be when the Frank Clarke report is received by the Minister this month, but I am in the hands of the Business Committee on this. The Government is happy to allow time. I just believe it would be useful to have the output of the report but it is a matter for the Business Committee to consider, perhaps.

Deputy Mattie McGrath should note the Government will bring forward the EU migration pact for debate and a vote at a time of our choosing. That is what we will decide to do. I am pleased to know the Deputy is eager. We are very much looking forward to debating him on the pact because-----
