It is not agreed. The Taoiseach and the Tánaiste have told the Dáil that Irish sovereign airspace has not been used to transport weapons to Israel. We know now from the journalism of The Ditch that this is not the case. At least six flights containing munitions have flown through Irish sovereign airspace on their way to Israel.

Either the Taoiseach and the Tánaiste misled the Dáil or exemptions were not sought and were therefore not granted, in which case the law was broken. Either way, it is a very serious matter and we should have debate in the Dáil this week on it.

I welcome the Government's commitment to establish a commission of investigation in the wake of the awful revelations about abuse of children in religious-run schools as illustrated in Mary O’Toole’s scoping inquiry. I also pay tribute to Mark and David Ryan. Can we have clarity from the Taoiseach on the timing of when the Government will introduce the terms of reference, given that we are all conscious that this Dáil has a very limited time to run? When will we have those terms of reference? Furthermore, can we have a debate on another really serious incidence of abuse in a different religious-run institution, namely, a hospital? I speak of Our Lady of Lourdes Hospital, Drogheda, and the appalling case of the convicted abuser Dr. Michael Shine. Deputy Ged Nash, who has worked on this issue for a long time, and I last week met some of the survivors of abuse perpetrated by Dr. Shine. We are conscious that approximately 300 people have come forward. This was a religious-run hospital run by the Medical Missionaries of Mary. There has not been an indication from the Taoiseach or the Government as to whether it supports the holding of a scoping exercise akin to that carried out by Mary O’Toole or the establishment of a commission of investigation. Given the short timeframe in which we are all working, we would like clarity on those issues.

The Taoiseach has claimed that 40,000 new-build homes would be completed this year. A report from the Central Bank published this morning rubbishes this claim and states it will be 8,000 homes short. Does the Taoiseach accept the findings of the Central Bank report? Given that another report published today shows that house prices have increased by 10% in the past 12 months, will the Taoiseach provide time this week to discuss these reports and the Housing Commission report that was published last May, which still has not been discussed in the Dáil?

I welcome the Ceann Comhairle’s statement on the bike shed. I understood from discussions at the Business Committee meeting that a party leader here asked for another bike shed to be built in the front yard of Leinster House. Maybe we could get clarity on that.

The situation with Irish Water is just untenable. This was an outfit set up by the former Minister, Phil Hogan, and the Taoiseach’s Government. I know of situations all over Tipperary, but especially in Ballynaraha, Kilsheelan, and in Kilnaneave and Emly, which have had no water in six weeks. A 90-year-old man in Kilsheelan is drawing water with churns and barrels for cattle. It is primitive. It is disgraceful. We cannot get meetings with senior management and we cannot get engagement. I thank Karen Ferris for engaging with me but we cannot get meetings with engineers. They are tinkering around with problems, do not have information, will not meet the people or will not engage with people who have the knowledge, their workers included. It is an untenable situation. We need an urgent debate in the House about Irish Water’s inability to provide water to people and farms. The situation in the town of Clonmel is appalling. It is in a hollow and should never be without water but it is experiencing ongoing problems with water all the time.

I support the request from Deputy Murphy. There has been report after report of the use of Irish sovereign airspace to transport munitions to be used in the genocide of the Palestinian people and all the issues that flow from that. This has caused widespread concern among the Irish people. We do not have clarification from the Ministers for Foreign Affairs or Transport about what are the actions to follow from the Irish Government or how seriously they are taking this matter. It is a grave abuse of our sovereignty. We need to have statements of clarification. I agree with Deputy Murphy and it needs to happen this week.

On behalf of the Independent Group, I support those calls for a debate on the use of Irish airspace by the Israelis. It seems that the Government is operating on the basis that if it does not ask it will not get an answer and that is the best way to do it. We need to address that and quickly. Therefore I support a debate this week.
