I ask the Minister of State to discuss these issues with his colleagues in a range of Departments. Such discussions should take account of the fact that more male teachers are required in national schools. They should also take cognisance of men's health issues – for which the Minister of State has responsibility – and the fact that housing should be provided to men who are on their own in order that they can see their children. Single male applicants are at the bottom of the housing lists in every local authority area and, without accommodation, they cannot see their children. This results in a sense of failure, which can lead to depression and suicide.
