Enda Kenny (Mayo, Fine Gael)

I commend the Minister of State, Deputy Penrose, on his activities as Minister of State with responsibility for housing, including making constructive propositions and taking difficult decisions. I can understand any Deputy's making a decision such as he made. The Cabinet must make decisions; that is our job. The mandate we were given is to sort out the problems of this country and that is what we intend to do.
