I will take up the Taoiseach's challenge to make a sane point. I will make a challenge to him and the Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform. Last Thursday at 6 o'clock, before the Taoiseach conducted the celebrations for the presidential inauguration in Dublin Castle, I visited tower block 4 in St. Michael's estate in Inchicore. Of the 48 apartment units in that block, 40 are closed behind steel barriers and eight residents remain. The lift does not work and I walked through human excrement, urine and strips of tin foil for cooking cocaine to the top floor where a woman lives with her two children.

Deputy, that is a different question. Standing orders are quite specific and provide for one topical issue.

No garda has climbed those stairs, neither has the Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform. The Taoiseach and his socialist Government regard these people as an underclass of violent nobodies. Where is the wealth when the Government cannot spread it to people who cannot go outside their doors at night because there are junkies on the stairs and screaming outside? Will the Taoiseach send the Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform, Deputy McDowell, to the estate in order that he might learn something about the reality on the streets, rather than issuing his volcanic eruptions about Fine Gael and everyone else? Will the Taoiseach visit this tower block in his own city where these people have been cast aside, their only security a squad car driving through the estate on an irregular basis?

Fine Gael city councillors are involved there.

Fine Gael city councillors run that estate.

The Taoiseach should go to the estate and deal with the drug pushers and killers on the ground. He should take up that challenge and deal with it if it is a sane fact.

I bet that hurts the Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform.

Allow the Taoiseach to answer without interruption.

The Deputy's party's city councillors run that estate.

The Minister was never down there. He knows nothing about these people.

There is a huge pattern of regeneration in the area which is being blocked by Fine Gael.

Deputy Kenny was only there for half an hour.

Allow the Taoiseach without interruption.

Deputy Kenny asked me a fair question about St. Michael's estate. I know the estate, I represent it and I have knocked at every door in it. The reason why 20 of the apartments are boarded up is that the Government is taking down the building and giving the residents new homes.

Hear, hear.

The estate was only built 20 years ago.

The Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform — one of the socialists — is leaving.

Allow Deputy Rabbitte without interruption.
