Seanad debates
Tuesday, 18 February 2003
Order of Business.
Will the Leader make time available – if not this week, then next week – for a debate on housing? A number of issues have arisen in regard to the latest pay deal and affordable housing. There seems to be a lack of clarity from the Department of the Environment and Local Government concerning promises made in the pay deal in regard to affordable housing. In addition, the Minister for Social and Family Affairs has put a cap on the rental subsidy for those on low incomes trying to find rented accommodation. I call for a debate on housing in the near future and I request that the Minister with responsibility for housing come before the House to debate the issue in detail.
