On promised legislation, there is an urgent need to strengthen the regulatory framework for social housing to provide for a new tenant purchase scheme for existing local authority houses, along with incremental purchase lines, the right of household members to succeed to the local authority tenancy of a deceased household member, and the refinement of the housing assistance payment. I am referring to the housing (miscellaneous provisions) (No. 2) Bill.

Following a programme on TV3 that highlighted illegal puppy farming in this country, what proposals does the Government have to deal with and regulate the sector? It is disturbing. I commend the people who made programme and I compliment Kerry SPCA, which deals with this problem on a day-to-day basis.
