There is so much to raise because it is such a wide issue. When the new Government came into power last March, within six weeks it had changed the criteria for people to qualify for local authority houses. People must now prove that they have been living in an area for five years before they can even apply for a local authority house. There are 100,000 people on the waiting list, but many others are not allowed to apply because they cannot prove they have been living in an area for five years. It discriminates against our own people. If a person is from Limerick and travels to Donegal, they cannot apply. That is something that has changed. In addition, funding for all the grant schemes has been drastically cut. Last year, for example, €6.7 million was made available to Donegal County Council, but this year's allocation is €2.1 million. I would like to deal with a lot more issues, including unfinished housing estates.
