The National Concert Hall Bill appears on the A list. The purpose of the Bill, obviously, is to establish the National Concert Hall on a statutory basis. Is there a timescale for bringing forward the Bill?

I call on the Tánaiste to correct the record of the House. She misled the House for the second time recently with regard to the construction programme carried out by the previous Government for social housing. I have checked the records and note that between 2002 and 2011 the previous Government built 45,000 social houses and delivered 10,000 affordable units. That equates to half the number of people currently on waiting lists. The least Members have a right to expect is that statements made by Ministers will be truthful.
