Duncan Smith (Dublin Fingal, Labour) | Oireachtas source

This is an unprecedented situation and we need unanimity, throughout this House but also among the local representatives throughout the country.

We need to know what a standard resource document will look like for us to be able to deal with the problems and the issues we are facing. We are going to be running around between voluntary groups and statutory bodies and competing with ourselves sometimes in this regard and that just cannot happen. We must have an update to the House from all the Ministers to the spokespersons across all the different areas, in order that we can all work together on this.
