Are we likely to see the vitally important reform of planning legislation come for the House before the end of term? We are all conscious that there are only two more sitting weeks. This is a vitally important Bill that has been promised by the Minister for Housing, Local Government and Heritage, Deputy Darragh O'Brien. The Minister previously committed to bringing the Bill before the House before Christmas. I and others have heard from many constituents about concerns and delays in the planning system caused by the ongoing chaos with aspects of the governance of An Bord Pleanála. We need this vitally important legislation to come before us soon, given the scale of the housing crisis.

We have reached a tipping point in the housing crisis. It is as hard as I have ever seen for somebody to get a house or find a place to rent. There are 11,000 people homeless. A young woman and two children came to my constituency office yesterday and pleaded with me to contact the Housing Agency, which I did. Within the space of two hours, 114 people had sought accommodation. Things have become really serious. It is time that all parties got together and had one working group. Four weeks out from Christmas, people want their own homes. I ask everybody in the House to work together. I know the Minister, Deputy Darragh O'Brien, is trying to do his best. Instead of shooting from four or five different points, we need a working group to work together before Christmas.

Deputy, we are on the Order of Business.
