Senators Twomey, O'Toole and Norris have called for another debate on issues regarding the Health Service Executive, particularly its announcement of reduction of staff levels in management and front line staff. I have no difficulty in assigning time for this. Senator Twomey called for a debate with the Minister for Finance, Deputy Brian Lenihan, concerning housing levels and the 80,000 houses that were under construction over the past number of years and the 25% of the population who have moved into new houses over the past ten years. We can examine all of this. There is great value for anyone who is trying to buy a house and there will never be as good a bargain as exists on the market today.
