The Taoiseach put the motion forward after People Before Profit and Solidarity last week tabled a motion of no-confidence in Minister O'Brien.
Much of the opposition called for him to go, including Labour's Ged Nash:
"I don't want to be flippant or in any way dismissive given the seriousness of the crisis that we now face but quite frankly I have more faith and confidence in Santa Claus than I do in this government to fix the housing crisis."
