There are a number of omissions from yesterday's housing programme published by the Government. I refer to one in particular, security of tenure for people who are currently subject to repossession proceedings. When will the new court be in place? The Taoiseach has promised a new court in the programme for Government to deal with these sort of cases. What is the position concerning people who are currently the subject of repossession proceedings before the courts? Will their cases be stayed until such time as they can get the benefit of appearing before the new court, or will the new court only be set up when these people have already been evicted, which will not be much good to them?
