As we all will be aware, the housing crisis is continuing unabated.

From what the Tánaiste has said to us in recent times, it is unlikely to be seriously tackled in the very near future. The Government has promised a landlord and tenant Bill to address and consolidate the law in the area of private rented accommodation. That is one of the areas that is exacerbating the difficulties at present. Could the Taoiseach tell us when precisely it is intended to bring forward that legislation because if the Government is truly prioritising housing, then this is part of the scheme of legislation that needs to be brought forward to address it?
