Kathleen Lynch (Cork North Central, Labour)

There probably will be one bright spot for us this year in terms of medals for sport. All of our good wishes go with them. I wish them the very best of luck.

I received an assurance from the Taoiseach at the beginning of this session in respect of the Housing (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill 2004. Many people hoping to buy their own homes are getting older and may not qualify for mortgages yet they see their neighbours, having purchased their homes, opting to sell and move on. The Bill appears to have slipped from the list. Will the Tánaiste tell the House the position in this regard?
