Official Languages and housing Bills
Aengus Ó Snodaigh seeks publication dates for the Official Languages amendment Bill and the long-delayed housing miscellaneous provisions Bill. The Taoiseach says the former will appear this session and the latter is due for debate in May.
Tá ceisteanna agam faoi dhá phíosa reachtaíochta. Baineann an chéad cheist leis an leasú ar Acht na dTeangacha Oifigiúla atá le teacht. Cén uair a bhfoilseofar an Bille go hoifigiúil? Tá cúpla dréacht neamhoifigiúil feicthe agam go dtí seo.
There is a crisis in terms of the availability of housing in Dublin, particularly for those in receipt of rent supplement. In April 2012, the Government promised that a housing (miscellaneous provisions) Bill would be published shortly, before subsequently telling us it would be the end of 2012. We are still awaiting it. In the meantime, there is an absolute crisis in the provision of social housing in this city and elsewhere.
