Simon Coveney (Cork South Central, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

I can assure Senators that I am not hiding from anything when it comes to the policies that we are bringing forward on housing. I do not see why the Department would not have a thorough independent review that is fully scrutinised by the Oireachtas and would not be happy to commit to that in legislation. That would be a perfectly normal procedure before a policy decision is extended. However, I believe there may be some wording issues with the amendment. In principle, if the Senator agrees to withdraw it, I will introduce an amendment to the same effect on Report Stage.
