I am disappointed by the lack of urgency I am hearing from the Minister of State. At a time when people are perishing on the streets because they do not have access to houses, we are talking about a report on a tax, rather than something that will bring properties into use. I am disappointed that the Minister of State does not seem to consider it important to bring the report in question to the Seanad. We have an absolute knowledge of and interest in this issue. We have been a source of pressure and knowledge with respect to housing. I am asking the Minister of State, as a small gesture on his part, to recognise the work we do on this matter by agreeing to bring the report back to this House as well.
