Regarding amendment No. 2, I made the point previously about including commitments in primary legislation to producing reports, particularly legislation that is already as complex as the Social Welfare Consolidation Act. The actuarial review of the Social Insurance Fund, published in March 2023, is...

I am not saying that a scheme has to start within six months; I am saying that we should have a report on it and I think that is a reasonable request to make. It makes absolute sense...

We are getting people ringing us up on a continual basis telling us that it is losing DNA samples and not issuing passports. A number of passports have yet to be issued for 2023. Something has gone very wrong within the organisation. What has gone wrong?
