Local Authority Housing. (29 Nov 2005)

Eamon Gilmore: Tabling a parliamentary question is a serious matter. We are entitled to get the answers to the questions we table.

Local Authority Housing. (29 Nov 2005)

Eamon Gilmore: There are only 40 housing authorities or thereabouts. It is not a difficult sum. What is the total number of applicants? The Minister of State should not take us for fools.
