My question concerns the proposal of Senator Higgins to have a debate on social housing in the autumn, particularly the rental accommodation scheme with which I am familiar in Donegal. Initially, I was in favour of the scheme because it brought people from substandard accommodation into reasonable accommodation. However, when we go down the road of bringing people off the housing list, it is counter-productive and therefore I welcome the debate on the scheme and on social housing in general, which I take it we will debate in the autumn.
