Deputy Doherty knows well that we are in constant engagement with families. It is a detailed piece of work that is nearing conclusion. We intend to get this legislation through the Dáil by the summer recess. The Deputy knows how important it is that we do that and I expect that, as the main Opposition party, Sinn Féin will support Government and the legislation so that it is passed before the summer recess. We have asked for Sinn Féin's input to the scheme and we wrote a detailed letter to it. Sinn Féin's housing spokesperson said he would respond in detail and he never did.
