This morning, the Minister for the Environment, Community and Local Government, Deputy Alan Kelly, made a very significant announcement in Limerick this morning to journalists about social housing. The announcement was not made in this House, despite the fact the housing crisis is probably the most serious social emergency we have in the country. Will the Taoiseach explain why he did not come-----

Not on the Order of Business.

Is it the intention of the Government to have the Minister, Deputy Alan Kelly, come to the House and explain what he said to journalists?

The Deputy should table a question or a Topical Issue matter.

Will there be a debate in this House on it?

I do not know.

That is why I am asking the Taoiseach.

We have responded before to requests from Members for a specific discussion on housing, which we had. We have no objection to that being raised again.

It is a matter for the Whips.

The Minister, Deputy Alan Kelly, would be quite prepared to participate in a Topical Issue debate or answer a priority question from the Deputy or anyone else.

We want a debate on the strategy.

It is a very good announcement.

That can be done through the Whips.

We have gone beyond talking and are now moving to the action stage.

There is no action. This is bogus. There is no action except in Limerick.
