Arthur Morgan (Louth, Sinn Fein)

I seek the adjournment of the Dáil under Standing Order 31 to debate the following urgent matter: the necessity for the Minister for the Environment, Heritage and Local Government to make additional funds available to local authorities throughout the State to enable them to carry out necessary repairs to local authority housing, because they are prevented from carrying out these repairs at present owing to a lack of funding. Tenants in public housing throughout the State endure severe and unnecessary hardship owing to the failure and inability of local authorities to carry out essential repairs.
