Can we have a progress report in the next two weeks regarding the National Building Control Office and what is being done directly by the Department? I do not want to crucify anybody here this morning.

The buck stops with the Department to get on top of this situation. We cannot continue. Somebody will be sitting in this room in ten or 20 years sorting out another bunch of problems with another Bill and they could be in a period of austerity when the money is not there. At the end of the day, this is taxpayers' money. We cannot keep firing it around like confetti at a wedding.
