Leo Varadkar (Dublin West, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

There have been a number of requests for statements on Northern Ireland, the fishing industry and negotiations currently happening at European level, Dublin, housing affordability and Garda recruitment. On many of these issues, such as housing affordability and gardaí, we regularly have discussions in the House. We would be happy to have statements on Northern Ireland, perhaps next week when the position is more clear and the documentation is published. The Whip will be happy to organise that. The Minister, Deputy McConalogue, is willing to have statements and a question-and-answer session on the fishing negotiations once that can be scheduled. I would be happy to find some time for statements on Dublin as well, but these are best scheduled by the Business Committee rather than here on the floor of the House. We are happy to discuss any of these matters, however.
