Ivor Callely (Fianna Fail)

I somewhat support the view expressed, in particular, on amendment No. 21. My experience of dealing with my local housing authority, DCC, and the housing manager, Mr. Ciarán McNamara, who seems to have what Senator Norris referred to as the flexibility to accommodate in certain instances, is that it has always been very accommodating.

I ask the Minister of State, particularly in light of amendment No. 21, what type of flexibility exists or would he review or reconsider the position that has now been put.
