Paul Coghlan (Fine Gael)

I support and second Senator Hayes's call for a debate on Northern Ireland and the interim report of Mr. Justice Feargus Flood. Will the Leader inform the House of the Government's intentions regarding a possible amendment of the 20% social and affordable housing provision contained in the Planning and Development Act, 2000, and the withering rule regarding planning permissions? Will she also indicate the Government's intentions and proposals regarding libel law in the context of the report of the legal advisory group on defamation?
