It is not for me to tell the Minister of State how to do his job, but amendments have been tabled for discussion. He has tabled some of them and is introducing the section, which reflects the Department's views and ideas for the future of Galway city and county. To contextualise the debate that will arise from these amendments, it would be useful if he outlined his views. I have had detailed discussions with him on this and I highlighted some concerns that members of my party have on the matter. I must move a housing Bill in the Dáil but I will return. It would be useful for the committee if the Minister of State could start a discussion and give context.
