Perhaps the Cathaoirleach could advise me as to the correct form of words as I have only just heard this, but I would like to seek leave to introduce the National Housing Co-operative Bill 2017 in my private members' time. This is a very important measure and I hope that every member of the House will stand up on this issue. With Allied Irish Banks geared to sell off a great number of distressed mortgages and with the vulture funds poised to take these over, we have a situation where we could potentially have 200,000 people out on the streets. We cannot deal the couple of thousand we have there now. What will we do if there is an avalanche of homelessness? I would like then to move that the National Housing Co-operative Bill be taken.
