I seek the adjournment of the Dáil under Standing Order 31 to raise a matter of urgent public concern, namely, the need for the Minister for the Environment, Heritage and Local Government to explain to the House the possible merits of handing State land to private developers for so-called affordable housing, given that 48,000 families are on the State's social housing waiting lists; to brief Opposition spokespersons on the plans; to debate the issue in the House; to provide a cost-benefit analysis of the proposals before proceeding further with them; and to outline whether he has sought proposals from voluntary housing associations to determine whether they can deliver social housing on State land in a manner that would offer better value for money to the State and maintain living communities within the city.
