Trevor Sargent (Dublin North, Green Party)

The Tánaiste might like an opportunity to speak but I have promised legislation to raise. It relates to a future cost on the taxpayer and to the building control Bill promised since 2003. As the Tánaiste may know, every tonne of cement produced creates approximately one tonne of CO emissions. The Bill was promised in 2003. It is now down for late 2005. Is there any urgency in Government in regard to introducing the building control Bill so EU directives on the energy performance of buildings can be given effect?
