Paddy Burke (Fine Gael)

I support the call for a debate on funding for the BMW region. The Minister of State at the Department of Transport, Deputy McDaid, said in the House last week that funding would not be available for the BMW and western regions until the bigger projects in Dublin are completed, such as the Luas and the port tunnel. In view of this fact, I support the call for a debate on this matter.

I also support Senator McHugh in regard to a debate on one-off housing. The Minister for the Environment, Heritage and Local Government made a big song and dance about new legislation for one-off housing, which is anxiously awaited. Will the Leader inform us when it is proposed to bring the legislation before the House?
