Phil Hogan (Carlow-Kilkenny, Fine Gael)

Perhaps the Ceann Comhairle can be of assistance in respect of a new means of announcing legislation. Yesterday evening, a spokesperson for the Department of the Environment, Heritage and Local Government announced to sections of the media that a new housing agency would be set up to deal with development land and loans that are taken out for developments in local authorities. I refer to the aggregate development land Bill. I knew nothing about this until then.
