That is up to the Ceann Comhairle. We are agreed on facilitating an extension until Friday but the Ceann Comhairle is the boss in these matters so I will bow to him. I will not take up any more time. Many more issues were raised. We will deal with them on Committee Stage.

Deputy Connolly asked about student accommodation. It is a matter of making money available to those in question. At the moment the system is limited to universities. There is an agreement in the programme for Government to include institutes of technology. We all desire this.

Most of the other questions were quite general in nature and have been addressed in some of the speeches. They will certainly be addressed on Committee and Report Stages. The Bill is to strengthen our position to deliver housing.
