There is merit in the two amendments. We can have a go at the Government but it may have tried something it genuinely thought would help people. I am not saying it was or it was not and there are question marks over it. It is important, especially before we have another budget, for a report to be done to analyse either its good or bad elements. There is no point in doing something that might inflate the market, pushing houses from the grasp of people who might be living in a wonderland who think X amount will be coming to them. The reports sought by Deputies McGrath and Boyd Barrett would have unanimous support, from what I have heard. I hope the Minister will consider that and Deputy McGrath should push the issue to ensure the report is done.
