I wish to follow on from Senator Conway-Walsh's remarks. It is shocking what we are seeing in the Dáil Chamber today. The fight is causing greater uncertainty as we go into the Christmas period. I read this morning that people who are homeless are being exposed to violence, drug taking, mould, damp, bed bugs, scabies, blood-stained mattresses, rats and abuse. It is disgraceful that coming up to Christmas there is such uncertainty when people are being evicted and thrown out of their homes into homelessness. I hope business in the Dáil will resume soon and that the Bill will be debated, amendments will be agreed and some degree of certainty will be afforded to people as we come up to Christmas.
