There are two issues I would like to raise on the Order of Business. The Leader is aware that the Taoiseach is shortly to make an announcement concerning 10,000 affordable new houses, which the city of Dublin welcomes. This is the type of proposal that many on the Opposition side of the House have been pressing on the Government for some time. It does not, however, do the Houses of the Oireachtas any service that the Government has chosen to make this announcement on the day after the Dáil has risen for the summer. No statement was made yesterday in the other House. No statement will be made today on the matter. It makes the Houses of the Oireachtas quite redundant when the announcement of a major infrastructural project of this nature, affecting some 10,000 future home owners in the Dublin area, could not be made in Leinster House. It is a dumbing down of Parliament. Some people might believe it effectively gives the 'Harvey Smith' to Parliament, itself.
