I wish to mention that I totally agree with the response of Fr. Peter McVerry and the Peter McVerry Trust. I commend the work they have done. I totally agree with them and there is no doubt about it. However, we have a housing emergency and the Taoiseach has indicated that we have a specified time within which to deal with it. He has indicated that he will drive it himself, along with the Minister for Housing, Planning and Local Government and the other responsible, constituent bodies. I believe that is the way it should be.
