Feargal Quinn (Independent)

The House will be interested to know that yesterday the Cabinet approved the Construction Contracts Bill 2010 initiated in this House almost two years ago. I mention this because of the importance of the legislation to the construction industry and the length of time it takes to get things done. A number of amendments to the legislation have been proposed, following which this House will consider it. I hope that happens quickly.

I ask that the Leader ensure the Government is aware of the urgency of getting this legislation through the Dáil and Seanad prior to the summer recess so that it can be enacted, thus benefiting society as a whole and in particular the construction industry.
