Neale Richmond (Dublin Rathdown, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

On my own part, I cannot apologise enough to the Deputy. I was not aware I was to take this debate. No script was sent to me by the Department of Housing. I would happily have taken it had the Department asked me. There was a breakdown in communications somewhere, so it is a massive apology to the Deputy. If anyone else comes to take the other two Topical Issues, I am more than happy to try to rectify it. I appreciate how serious the issue is to the Deputy.
