The grouping of the amendments is unfortunate because many of the key amendments that deal with huge sections of the Bill have been grouped together and we are forced in one contribution to deal with a range of matters. I do not know why it was decided to proceed in that way because there will be quite long speeches dealing with quite different points.

We should start with what is not included in the Bill, including security of tenure, the most important measure to stop the tide of homelessness raging, particularly in Dublin and many key cities.
