Noel Ahern (Dublin North West, Fianna Fail)

If the other routes to which I referred do not lead to potential success, I will support the legislation if we decide it is the only route to take. I suggest a period of approximately six months to see if the other routes are successful. I agree with the basic idea in the legislation. I find it difficult to disagree with what Senator Coghlan and others in the House to whom I spoke recently are trying to achieve. It is a case of how to reach a solution on applying the same system to buying a house in Dublin as in Cork. I hope we can proceed but I would not like to talk to people under the threat of legislation. If I do not make progress within approximately six months, I will consider the Senator's Bill.
