I would try to if I was not being barracked.

Senator Coffey should know that all the figures are available. They all add up and they have been checked by the Department of Finance.

Rent certainty is essential. It is a short-term immediate measure that would make a huge difference to all those who are in jeopardy of losing their homes. We know the human stories. This is not about playing politics. It is about trying to make a difference. We are asking the Minister to help us make that difference. We welcome the support from Senators across the floor. I hope Fianna Fáil, even at this late date, would not support or at least abstain in the vote on the Government's amendment to the motion. I hope we will see support for this Rent Certainty Bill, which would make the Seanad relevant and help us make a difference for all those people who need our support tonight.
