Paul Gogarty (Dublin Mid West, Green Party)

I seek the adjournment of the Dáil to debate a specific matter of national importance, namely the urgent need to carry out an audit of our domestic gas network to ensure that pipework and other equipment being used adheres to the highest international standards, that a proper system of certification be set up for people installing or repairing gas systems and that the clear and present risks to residents using natural gas is minimised before an avoidable tragedy occurs due to defective equipment being installed in many homes, including for example thousands of fittings that are soldered with corrosive flux paste which can eventually lead to gas leaks.
