The Minister for the Environment, Community and Local Government, Deputy Alan Kelly, has indicated that a housing strategy document and plan will be introduced shortly to address the crisis in housing. This applies particularly to the homeless crisis, given that between 30 and 40 new families are coming into the homeless section every month. People are being sent to hotels to queue for places. A second housing Bill will be introduced. Could the strategy be brought forward and debated at the same time? We must get down and discuss the issue.
