The housing crisis is expected to top the agenda when coalition talks resume today.

Fine Gael has reportedly offered the first concrete deal to Independents and smaller parties as they try to form a minority Government.

Enda Kenny's party sent a discussion document to those taking part in talks last night.

The Irish Examiner says it contains promises to create a new Minster for Housing, an 8-week housing action plan and suggests ways to cut down on empty homes.
