Michael Finneran (Roscommon-South Leitrim, Fianna Fail)

The effect of Deputy Lynch's proposed amendments has already been provided for by the more comprehensive and far-reaching amendments I presented to the select committee to place the making of homelessness action plans on a statutory basis. I presume the Deputy does not wish to press these amendments in favour of my own substantive amendments which have been strongly endorsed by the MakeRoom alliance. I would, therefore, ask the Deputy to withdraw his amendments.
