Mary O'Rourke (Fianna Fail)

Senator Browne is quite correct. I am not being funny now. With the break-up of marriages, I find there are local authority housing issues. The mother in the main gets the children, and then the father wants them at weekends but has nowhere to take them. Considerable numbers of fathers are looking for local authority housing where they can bring their children at weekends. It is a significant problem and perhaps Senator Browne is correct, but I would not be in favour of curtailing the right to divorce, which is now set in law.
