As my party leader stated in his question, everybody in this House wants to be able to contribute to having their ideas put forward with regard to the crisis in housing supply and also affordability of rents. The housing (miscellaneous provisions) Bill is on the list of Bills to be published in this session. It contains a number of measures, although nothing I can see, in the summary anyway, with regard to controlling rents. The provision that has been highlighted is on fast-tracking planning for large developments about which concerns had been raised in terms of bypassing the local voice and also the capacity of An Bord Pleanála to deal with these issues. In fact, with regard to this proposal, it is possible we would have a slowing down rather than a speeding up of the process. What is the timetable with regard to that Bill?

That Bill is due to come before the House in the next couple of weeks when we will have an opportunity to discuss it.
