The family should be in a home. Regardless of whether one likes to hear it, we need to do more and be much more active. I feel strongly about this matter. I hope I get an opportunity to speak about this matter in the Dáil on Thursday. People who are not officeholders or leaders of other parties are allocated 12 minutes in which to speak. This agenda must be debated in this Oireachtas whether one likes it or not. Perhaps the Chairman wishes me to close me down.
