As the Taoiseach will be aware, the mortgage crisis faced by approximately 160,000 households in this country is one of the most pressing issues facing this country.

Would Deputy Boyd Barrett please respect the Chair and resume his seat? I ask the Taoiseach not to answer somebody who is totally out of order. Deputy Boyd Barrett should respect the Chair. When I stand up, the Deputy is supposed to sit down. He is totally out of order.
