Kathleen Lynch (Cork North Central, Labour)

I see the Minister for the Environment, Heritage and Local Government is sitting beside the Taoiseach. When will the housing (miscellaneous provisions) Bill be introduced, on the basis that thousands of people wish to purchase their homes from local authorities? In some cases they have lived in their homes for 40 years.

Another matter that needs to be dealt with is the whole area of anti-social behaviour and the powers local authorities have to deal with it.
