Would the Taoiseach agree that the €1.8 billion from the sale of Dundrum and other shopping centres yesterday could build 15,000 to 18,000 homes? Instead, what he is promising the people in the Visitors Gallery is modular homes - portakabins - which they know will become a permanent fixture, just like the hotels which he told them were only for short-term use. They have been in them for between ten months and one year.

When people hear what the Taoiseach has to say about NAMA, and see that he leaves it untouched while they languish in hotels and hostels, would he agree that they are now perfectly entitled to stage occupations of NAMA houses and vacant houses? Would he, as I do, call on people to stage a day of action for homes and would he look at the Facebook page for that?
