I am conscious the Minister has only one minute to reply, but Deputy Stanton tabled the question.

Before moving on, I have no prior notification of substitutions. It is just a general point. I know Deputy Gino Kenny is taking questions for Deputy Bríd Smith. We finally found out that the Deputy gave notification. It puts pressure on the staff in that regard. I do not know what the hiccup is, but the information on substitutions is not getting through to us.

We got confirmation about Deputy Kenny's substitution.

Deputy Sherlock took me by surprise with his brevity. He may make his point.

Speaking of young students, I welcome all the young students in the Gallery. Fáilte roimh anseo.

We will manage one more question, although not in its entirety and not for the whole six and a half minutes. I call Deputy Sherlock.

Táim ag filleadh arís ar chúrsaí tithíochta - tá sé níos cirte easpa tithíochta a rá - agus go háirid an cinneadh atá déanta ag an Rialtas, agus a thiocfaidh i bhfeidhm arú amárach ar Lá na nAmadán, nach mbeidh cosaint ar bith ag tionóntaí ó thaobh díshealbhaithe de. I return to housing. I hope the Tánaiste will deal with the issues I raise in a calm, dignified manner and without trading insults. From Saturday, April Fool’s Day, there will be no protection for tenants, who can be evicted on a no-fault basis. The Tá…

Nobody has asked for an indefinite ban. That is spin. I wish you would stop the spin. This is far too serious.

I wish the Tánaiste would explain to the people where they will go tomorrow. With regard to housing, this did not happen overnight. It is the direct result of Government policies for a very long time.

The announcement by the Land Development Agency yesterday is ostensibly a positive one until we look at the details. A similar announcement was made back in April 2017. That was six years ago. It was made by the then Minister, Deputy Coveney, on what public land was available and how many houses could be built on it. Each Government proceeded to rely on the market, which has made matters much worse. For social housing this is because of the housing assistance payment. I spent 17 years of my life as a member of a co…

Gabh mo leithscéal, but does the Minister have other copies of his speech?

Go raibh maith agat. Members are anxious to have them.

The independent Independents. There are two of us.

I welcome the opportunity to speak on this topic, however briefly. I thank Deputy Mattie McGrath and the other Deputies who put pressure on the Dáil Business Committee to put this on the agenda of the House. In the short time available, I would like to zone in on the feasibility study that was done, as referred to earlier by Deputy Carthy. When we asked questions about the very low prices that farmers were getting for their sheep, we were told to wait until the feasibility study was published. That was nine months …

I am sure the Women of Honour and the good members of the Army would forgive me for not wasting time on praise because I have only five minutes on a report with 100 pages, along with 12 appendices running to 294 pages. I have read the 100 pages but have not read all the appendices yet. This comes on top of the suffering and pain of numerous women and men who were ignored when they made complaints over a long period of time. Over 18 months ago, the Women of Honour appeared on the documentary made by Katie Hannon. Wh…

I will certainly restate that I have the most serious concerns about the implications of what was said or reported in that statement.

It was disbanded.

No, I said they were established and disbanded.

I beg your pardon, but-----

Why not?
