Eamon Gilmore (Dún Laoghaire, Labour)

The housing (miscellaneous provisions) Bill is promised for publication in 2006. The heads of the Bill have not yet been approved by the Government. Will the Minister arrange with the Minister for the Environment, Heritage and Local Government or the Minister of State with responsibility for housing, to give a briefing on that Bill or on the miscellaneous provisions which are intended, to the Oireachtas committee and to perhaps discuss with the committee what miscellaneous provisions in the administration of our housing system might be amended? This is an area where the wider participation and the experience of Members of the House might be brought to bear in the preparation of a Bill which would deal with issues with which Members as public representatives deal on a daily basis.
