Some time ago the Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform, Deputy McDowell, set up a task force to inquire into the auctioneering business. Nothing has changed in this area because house prices are still inflated. Will legislation be introduced to control that business and to make private treaty sales more transparent?

I received a letter from Professor Drumm of the HSE. Is there a need for the Minister for Health and Children and her two junior Ministers? Perhaps Professor Drumm might be able to do her job because she certainly is not doing it.
