We would like the Dáil to be treated with some respect. We would like to see it before the Minister sends people out to present it in the media. The bottom line is we have a real crisis in terms of sustaining people in their houses. Would the Taoiseach accept that the Bill to come before us on Thursday merits at least being passed on Second Stage so that we can debate it on Committee Stage?
