There is a need to promote it more. I certainly think that we should be incentivising and helping people to get on the property ladder, in this case first-time buyers.

To address Senator Mac Lochlainn's contribution, I have spoken to Senator McFadden about Jadotville and I have also met with the Minister of State, Deputy Kehoe, in that regard. The Senator might not think we are trying to progress the matter but we actually are. I share the Senator's view on this, as he knows quite well. I am trying, as Leader of the House, to arrive at a positive conclusion for everybody. If the Senator can give me a bit more patience, I will be happy to try to get him a meeting with the Minister of State on that issue. To be fair to Senators McFadden, Craughwell and Senator Mac Lochlainn himself, we need a commonality and unity of approach in order to see this matter resolved positively for the families and the men who served, in particular.
