Rhetoric & votes →On prevailing side: this member voted with the winning side in 312 of 313 decisive votes (0 abstentions excluded). Read it as a government-or-opposition indicator rather than a measure of influence — the figure is near 100% for members supporting the government of the day and near 0% for those opposing it.

This is the point of the site: contributions keep the party held on the day, not the one held now.

We need the time for the Minister to respond, if the Deputies want answers.

I ask for the clock to be stopped while I explain to people that which I think should be pretty clear. If four minutes are available for a question and answer and the whole four minutes are consumed in asking a question then a Member cannot expect to get an answer. The Minister has one minute and 22 seconds to answer the two questions.

We are going to have a statement from the Minister followed by statements from parties and groups. The Minister has ten minutes for his opening statement. Fianna Fáil and Sinn Féin have 15 minutes each for their statements and any questions and answers. The other groups have ten minutes for their statements and-or questions and answers. It has been a phenomenon today that some people have taken all the time asking the questions and then are a bit perturbed that they do not get any answers.

Thank you, Minister. It is an interesting point, not least because the Department of Defence for many years has been pursuing a policy of depopulating places such as the Curragh Camp. I call Deputy Michael Collins.

Thank you, Minister. That brings our debate to a conclusion. It occurs to me that over several years now we have probably debated the housing issue more than any other issue in this Chamber. I have often thought that if words were building blocks, we would have solved the housing crisis many times over. Yet, tonight's debate was noteworthy for the goodwill that seemed to be evident across the House, so I congratulate all the Members for their common sense and goodwill.
