I thank the Minister for his response on the issues raised and wish to pose a number of questions emanating from it. In the first instance, Mr. Justice Finnegan reported to the courts and subsequently to the Minister, through Dublin City Council. Is it possible for Mr. Justice Finnegan's report to be made public? I ask because I am sure the contents may refer to the culpability to which Deputy Mick Wallace referred, particularly of engineers, valuers and the enforcement section of the council. The Minister has said the Supreme Court case listed for 15 October will solely be concerned with the cost of providing alternative accommodation for those who have been without their own homes for almost two years. The case will deal with that specific issue only and the Minister has said that irrespective of that process and the adjudication by the courts on that matter, he is still seeking a resolution within three weeks, dating from last week when this process was instigated. I ask him to confirm that it is his objective to bring a solution to the Government in two weeks time.
