Not agreed.

Sentiment score: -0.21

The Government is planning to further expand the gravy train of ministerial jobs and allowances and it is doing it with a guillotine to suppress proper debate and discussion of the expanded gravy train it is planning. This is completely unacceptable. There should not be a guillotine. Additionally, we have had very alarming pronouncements made by the Taoiseach that he is planning to, effectively, hand over the housing sector, lock, stock and barrel, to profit-driven investors. I refer to private investors, vulture funds and corporate landlords - the very people who are responsible for the housing crisis that we have.

Sentiment score: -0.05

We have still not had a discussion on the Housing Commission report that we have been asking for a debate on since it was published seven or eight months ago.

Sentiment score: 0.00

As was requested at the Business Committee, we are looking for a discussion on the housing crisis and the announcements the Government is making and an opportunity to question the new Minister about the Government's crazy housing proposals.

Sentiment score: -0.57

We want to question the Minister.
