I support the amendment. There has been a complete lack of analysis of the problem. We are rushing in once again to a developer-led solution. I made this point in the Dáil and I will repeat it at every opportunity as quickly as I can. We have a major housing emergency. There has been no proper analysis of how that arose, so therefore we cannot have a solution. At the very least, this amendment is simply asking for a factual based result, to do a little bit of study, which should have been done before we came here today. I therefore have no hesitation in supporting it.
