Having considered these petitions, I believe we should make a recommendation to the Minister of State at the Department of the Environment, Community and Local Government with responsibility for housing that legislation be enacted to deal with this issue and, further, that consideration be given to the model that is already in place under the noise pollution legislation. We should ask the Minister to respond in a positive way at the earliest opportunity.
