Enda Kenny (Mayo, Fine Gael)

I would like to think we could have a conclusion by a particular date and that these families will be back in the homes, for which they are paying mortgages. The taxpayer has been already exposed to a liability of more than €350,000 which is continuing to mount. Therefore, we need clarity from the court on the issues before it and we need to know about the local authority's responsibility for enforcing the building regulations and requirements under the 1990 Act. I would like to see this matter ended but I understand it is not exceptional.
