I have the majority report and the minority report on the proposals on how housing would be reflected in the Constitution. I do not have the overall Housing Commission report. It will come in time. It is about the future of housing in Ireland. While we are doing this, as we have said in answer to questions previously, it is important we continue to increase our housing supply, including affordable, social, private and across cost rental. We are doing this but challenges still remain.

For the record of the House, because Deputy Ó Broin seems to have a crystal ball and unique insight into the operation of Cabinet, and perhaps he is dying to get in there himself, the reality is there is no disagreement in this regard. The Government, and I as Minister, will have to consider both views in the majority and minority reports. We will do this. In near course I will bring forward a memo to the Cabinet and seek input from colleagues in government, which is the right thing to do. I will then set out the process after this. I will not pre-empt what these decisions will be.
