I wish to ask about the Housing Commission report. As my colleague said earlier, Dr. Aoibhinn Walsh, a leading paediatrician, is seeing children growing up in emergency accommodation presenting with rickets, skin conditions, including scabies, anaemia, faltering growth and extreme tooth decay. This is incredibly serious.

The landmark report from the Housing Commission provides a number of recommendations to tackle the housing crisis. However, the Minister for housing has claimed most of the recommendations are already being implemented. Michelle Norris, appointed to the commission by the Government, has roundly rejected this and stated: "Why would I devote two years of my life [to] coming up with [recommendations that are] already underway." The summer economic statement fails to signal the additional capital spending that will be needed on housing to start implementing the recommendations. Why is the Government sitting on the report and not implementing its recommendations?

We are not sitting on the report. Everybody in the House should analyse the report, including the Social Democrats.

I have.

No, in terms of the rental market. I am not sure that what it recommends would fit with the policy platform of the Deputy's party in terms of the rental market. We need to examine it and the Department is examining it. It is a substantial and comprehensive document which merits detailed examination. Some issues are being progressed but it merits detailed examination, as opposed to soundbites and a general 1.5-page press release. It needs far more detailed assessment than that, particularly around the rental market. It states the political system has been too reactive in terms of some of the proposals and that that has done more harm than good. The party opposite needs to examine that aspect of it too. It seems to me what the Housing Commission proposes is not exactly what has been happening in the House for the past five or six years, which seems to be about measures to dampen investment.
