Regarding the planning and development (No. 1) Bill, which is to implement the social programme, would it be possible to introduce it as emergency legislation, as was the case with the FEMPI legislation? Every day under the Taoiseach's Government and the Minister, Deputy Kelly's administration, four families in Dublin city alone become homeless. That is their legacy - four families today, four families tomorrow and four families the next day becoming homeless. The homeless executive at Parkgate Street makes no provision for family accommodation. It is an emergency situation for families.
