Jim O'Callaghan Minister for Justice, Home Affairs and Migration Fianna Fáil

I propose to take Questions Nos. 842, 843, 847 and 850 together.

It has not been possible to collate the information requested by the Deputy in the time available.

I will write to the Deputy directly once the information is to hand.
