A number of weeks ago the Taoiseach promised that he would introduce legislative changes to help the hundreds of family who are hauled before the courts on a weekly basis and face the real danger of losing their family home. He said the measures and proposals would be brought before the House before the end of April. When will the Government finally wake up and realise that hundreds, if not thousands, of families risk losing their homes? When will it bring forward legislative changes to ensure that these families are supported? I hope infighting between the two political parties in the Government regarding legislative changes and proposals is not stalling this. Every day and night of delay means another family could lose their home, which is one too many. People are suffering and they need the Government's help, but the help the Government has provided to this section of society has been negligible thus far.
