The subcontractor law is not being applied. It has not been fully completed as the adjudicators have not been selected. Therefore, it still has not been of any use to any of the subcontractors in the State, although it has spent four years making its way through the Houses.
On the programme for Government, the Taoiseach referred to the completion of the work of the Constitutional Convention. This examined voting rights for citizens living abroad, amending the clause on the role of women in the home, substantial Dáil reform, amending the current Dáil electoral form, the removal of blasphemy from the Constitution, reducing the voting age and amending the Constitution to strengthen the protection of economic, social and cultural rights. This work has not been completed. Is there an intention to complete it?
