Caoimhghín Ó Caoláin (Cavan-Monaghan, Sinn Fein)

Given the recent reports of housing developers refusing to build social and affordable housing under Part V of the Planning and Development Act, will the Taoiseach bring forward the housing (miscellaneous provisions) Bill and include in it the reinstatement in full of Part V, which the Government gutted at the behest of developers and speculators?

The eligibility for health and personal social services Bill has been repeatedly promised and repeatedly postponed. The new legislative programme states that publication is expected in 2007. Is that early 2007 or will it happen at all in the course of this Dáil?
