Caoimhghín Ó Caoláin (Cavan-Monaghan, Sinn Fein)

I recently raised with the Taoiseach the plight of almost 50,000 families on local authority housing waiting lists. There is a signalled delay in the introduction of the social housing (miscellaneous provisions) Bill, which had been promised for early 2008, as the recently published legislative programme states it will be published in mid-2008. Many families and individuals of senior years for whom there is no provision of social and affordable housing face a serious situation. In light of that, will the Taoiseach bring forward the Bill to be addressed in the House before Easter?
